Pros
Lots of free food when you are in the office.
Kontras
Where do I begin? In order to get promoted you need to be the most popular kid in the office. You have talent? It doesn't matter. Go to happy hours every Friday and it will guarantee that promotion you have been working so hard for. Planning something like a trivia night is not innovation. It's sad that senior management encourages this kind of behavior and it's seemingly clear who the favorites are because they get ahead the quickest. Favoritism is widely practiced here. Also, good luck getting honest feedback. The only feedback you will receive is "you need more face time with the Partners and get more involved with Capco initiatives." How do you suggest I do this when I am spending 60 hours a week at the client? Shouldn't excelling at the client be more important? Nope, because clearly getting good feedback from the client and having high billability isn't good enough.
