Pros

- interesting projects coming via Accenture and Microsoft partner network - working with smart people

Cons

- once you get assigned to a project you become more an employee of client than Avanade - you get disconnected from everything that is going on - you usually have a career advisor who you never met before, who sets regular calls with you but there is anything he/she can do for your career development - there is no ongoing discussion with consultants about state of your assignment at current client a) your service its extended for another year without letting you know b) you don't know if next month you will still be there - nobody asks you / propose you other interesting projects in your talent community

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.
