Pros

You'll generally be working with highly skilled people at top tier clients. It's the top of the heap for Microsoft-focused IT consulting.

Cons

Seemingly perpetual management and leadership changes, especially on the sales and account management side of the house. Still retains some of the hero culture from Accenture which expects insane working hours if you don't want to be seen as slacking.

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.
