Pros

The benefits - such as free meals and cab pickups - are good - and that is probably the only good thing about them when you know the inside story.

Cons

There is very very little true consulting or intelligence involved here. Keep copying older work and presentations and modify it a bit to suit a new client and project. In the name of consulting and analytics we keep doing manual comparison of data in Excel files. In the name of Software Development this company is such a big joke it is not even funny.
