Pros

Best place to get acquainted with Microsoft Products. Avanade is very receptive to new grads/entry level consultants and invests a lot of capital in growth and development of their consultants. Good place to get certified as exams and study materials are subsidized.

Cons

Lots of bureaucracy to wade through. Very hard to get the word out to voice concerns and intimidating at times. Expect a lot of bench time if you're a level 20. Expect to relocate or extended travel for some projects with only a portion of costs of transportation subsidized by Avanade.

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.
