Pros

Good benefits, good people (individually)

Cons

Way, way too corporate competitive. By that I mean, promotion is touted as the end-all-be-all, and forced extracurricular time is often seen as more valuable than an employee's work merit when it comes to promotion and "standing out." Avanade touts a very rich experience but it's all a facade trying to mask the fact that Avanade is in the business of making money, and that's it. There is no culture, there are just people trying to get ahead with out-of-date technologies and old business ways.

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.
