Cons

Difficult getting to market since the Avanade brand is unknown to majority of market Corp mktg is not aligned with local markets Viewed as execution arm for projects rather than thought leaders High consulting rates make the value proposition difficult for clients justify Offshore capabilities can be difficult to leverage

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.
