Pros

Fast-growing, The traditional market has a need for their technical insights. Decent technical acumen for the MSFT stack.

Cons

Struggling to adapt to a world focused on business outcomes and impact - creating a different value prop than the parent firm - Accenture already offers. The vast majority of the work is "bodies" that fill technical needs created by Accenture engagements. Not a bad thing but moots the existence of a separate firm. It is questionable as to the value of the Avanade management layer in generating the little non-Accenture revenues that they do.

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.
