There's yet another kind of meeting; the recurring team meeting. Purpose being to get everybody in the same room to discuss whatever is on people's minds.
(This is obviously a type of meeting that needs to be used lightly)
Personally, I've found they do contribute somewhat to team cohesiveness, and if you have a busy manager it is nice to have guaranteed time with them. Of course, everyone is different, and it may well be truly useless in other companies

True Story: I got chastised in my annual performance review because I didn't have a scheduled staff meeting for my 5-person team.
I've always found meetings like that to be useless, but I guess there was some official policy someone that stated "thou shalt haveth staff meetings".
