Pros

Easy going culture for employees. Employees are in retirement mode. They hire consultants to do real work. Generally good people except few black sheeps.

Cons

Too much politics. Naturally if too many idle minds get together, this will happen. Many entrenched employees power-trip and vent on consultants.
