Pros

You are able to skill up on microsoft technologies for free The organization has a lot of events for people to get involved in (almost like college clubs) You get rewarded for the effort you put in

Cons

You do not have a manager. You have a career advisor (almost like a mentor) that advocates for you for promos and merit. The downside of this is generally your career advisor is not on every project you are on so they dont see first hand what you are doing. You have to apply for positions within the company you are interested in and review. If this is something you are not up for this may not be the place for you.

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.
