Pros

Real life focus on delivering Value to clients through the Microsoft Ecosystem. Great focus on developing people and their skills. With its focus on Microsoft the firm is often on the bleeding edge of development, if you enjoy working with Microsoft products and services then this company is a good opportunity.

Cons

Like all jobs you get what you put in, but the focus is on how you carry your career. Expect not to be challenged on multiple fronts. Do not expect an easy career if you don't do your piece. This is a consulting firm and if the consulting life is not for you then consider other opportunities.

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.
