Pros

Opportunity to work for large customers on highly complex and challenging projects.

Cons

Lack of real training (currently about 1k per person per year) only self study training available. No training on how to be a consultant, long hours and no bonuses for consultants. IBM has an incentive program based on individual performance and company success. In fact this will be the first company I've worked for where I don't participate in any type of incentive program.

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.
