Significado
To agree on a specific matter with others.
Contexto cultural
In Russian business culture, reaching a 'common opinion' often involves a lot of 'душевные разговоры' (soulful talks) where personal trust is built alongside professional agreement. In bureaucratic settings, this phrase is often used to mask the fact that a superior has made a decision and others have simply complied, maintaining the appearance of collective unity. Scholars use this phrase to indicate that a scientific debate has been settled, which is a significant milestone in Russian intellectual life. Young professionals use this phrase ironically in group chats when they finally decide where to go for Friday night drinks after 100 messages of arguing.
Use it to sound professional
If you are in a meeting and want to summarize that everyone agrees, this phrase makes you sound much more fluent than just saying 'Все согласны'.
Watch the case!
Remember: 'к' + Dative. It's never 'общее мнение' after 'прийти к'.

The 'Finally' factor
Add 'наконец-то' (finally) before 'пришли' to emphasize that the discussion was long and difficult.
