Pros

Consulting is ultimately the best place to kick start one's career. You will learn a lot and learn to adapt to many facets of business aside from technology.

Cons

Pay is not competitive enough. All consultancies preach work/life balance, but ultimately, the concern of the company rely more so on chargeability rather than your personal life. Most projects I have worked on have been travel Sun-Fri for 50% of the time.

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.
