Pros

Unfortunately there are very few pros from working at this company.

Cons

The business model is for all of project team to be 100% billable and there is never enough hours to complete the work. Overtime and extra hours are always expected evening and weekends, with no extra pay. It is a very high stress environment with a blame culture if timelines are not met.
