Pros

Global company. Access to over 20,000 professionals to answer questions. Close relationship with Microsoft and Accenture. Lots of opportunity to travel. Good base salary and flexibility

Cons

Limited opportunities for advancement. Senior management has already decided who they want to see advance. Poor incentive program compared to other companies. Placement is determined without consultation with employees. You have very little influence, visibility or say in where your next placement will be.

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.
