Pros
Smart people who are generally good teammates, with the exception of some senior management.
Cons
Fixed price delivery model means there is consistent pressure both on the teams but also on the client to ensure delivery risk is mitigated to preserve the firm's margin. Scrum is used, but its values are not followed and it's used as a cudgel coerce the teams and the client. A "just-in-time" staffing model also means teams have little preparation prior to engaging on a project and precious little organic ramp-up time.
