Pros

Interesting work, great job security (the Navy's not going anywhere, and the projects have huge lifespans). Knowledge base of senior engineers is huge. Reasonably close to NYC and Boston.

Cons

Company seems to treat engineers as replaceable and does a bad job of retaining young engineers. The supervisors and managers care, but don't get the backup from higher up to do much. People hitting 3-5 years experience.seem to leave en masse. "Reasonably close to NYC and Boston" also means "in the dead zone of nothing that lies smack in the middle of the two".
