Pros

They are a private company so they are able to get away with a lot and just try to be a profit making machine.

Cons

Still run as a start-up so everyone runs around trying to get others to do their work, so there's a constant brain drain of good people who leave the company.

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.
