Pros

Free training and certifications. You could travel often for work and can accumulate miles, hotel and car rental points for free personal travel.

Cons

No work-life balance. Your top priority should always be the client, even before your personal life. Management only cares about keeping both Accenture and the client happy all the time. Even if the client is asking for deliverables outside scope or shortens the deadlines management always says yes. You are forced to meet the deadlines even if the clients wants to change requirements at the middle of the sprint. It is not a place where your ideas and contributions are appreciated. There is no culture, it is just a software factory.

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.
