Pros

Competitive Salary Lots of training Great minds and colleagues to work with Career Progression

Cons

Long bench times The expectation from group manager is to be more of deal shaper and presales % person but at the same time group manager has 70% utilization target which does not seem. Group managers are expensive resources so selling them is difficult which create a long bench time. Working with Accenture and offshore teams is always a challenge.

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.
