Pros

Strong market positioning and reputation on most of their markets. Very good teamwork and easy internal relationships at lower and middle levels.

Cons

Business model works well somewhere - say core markets - but needs to gain a lot of flexibility and cleverness in other ones. Very high instability of org charts and middle management changes, personally I had 10 different bosses during 10 years . Uneffective and ridiculous. Not a good tuition for young graduates, besides unuseful formalities and slogans. You must be billable since the day one.
