Pros

You have a chance to work with very diverse technologies in the Enterprise spectrum.

Cons

Career advances are sabotaged by an over-complicated and bureaucratized evaluation mechanism that at the end of the day produces a ton-worth of paper that nobody cares to read. Promotion are instead given on a retention-tentative base rather than on a meritocratic one. A senior employee stated on his "goal for next year" form that he wished his soccer team won the championship. He carried on this joke for five years and none of his managers nor the guys from hr questioned this statement. This only proves that the evaluation of employees' performance is performed on subjective, obscure and very questionable criteria.

Pros

The projects are really large so you'll get great experience. The benefits are good. The people are, for the most part, really nice at the lower level.

Cons

Always restructuring. You don't actually work for Avanade you work for Accenture under the name of Avanade. Accenture is always trying to absorb or downsize Avanade and even the execs don't have real power there. Plus all work and decisions are also controlled by Microsoft, so if they're doing extremely well then Avanade does and then Accenture fights for their share of the money in some shady way.
