Pros

Avanade has been growing at a fast pace and will continue to do so. This provides great growth opportunities for people with deep Microsoft technology experience.

Cons

Avanade is a wholly owned subsidiary of Accenture & Microsoft, and in many cases has to compete with its parents for business at Enterprise accounts; this leads to some dysfunctional behavior between account teams. Many customers have never heard of Avanade, from a brand awareness perspective. And in my opinion there are way too many processes and procedures internally that hinder flexibility / agility when pursuing business.

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.
