Pros

Avanade provides good training if you are relatively new to working with Microsoft technologies and products.

Cons

Not any better than working at a body shop firm Projects can go very badly and there is little if any recognition on the part of management and no action on the part of management The sales people don't seem to know or care what they are selling. They don't have to implement it. Travel can be ridiculous. I worked on an east coast project with people who lived on the west coast. No work-life balance.

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.
