Pros

I am surrounded by very intelligent and talented coworkers. People are hired to do very specialized tasks and they are normally the best of the best.

Cons

This is a very political organization. One way to get ahead is to rub shoulders with the right people and many times, these employees get promotions. Some employees do not care about teamwork and just focus on their tasks. Personal performance is a key factor in one's promotion. This sometimes causes some employees to manipulate the situation by keeping key information from his/her team members to purposely make themselves look good. These said employees will backstab other coworkers and position themselves into their ideal position within the company.

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.
