Pros

Good technical people Good training Backing of 2 industry giants

Cons

Avanade is not a company it is a body shop for Accenture Accenture look down on Avanade and tell all Avanade people what to do Avanade leadership have no ambition other than to survive and are total yes men to Accenture Their leadership have made a lot of money from being yes men to Accenture and they think that makes them good. Promotion is done behind closed doors and is rarely based on merit but more on secret deals and meeting boardroom quotas

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.
