Pros

It's good to work with students (faculty, colleagues) who are smart and focused and energetic. Engineers are often pleasantly odd people.

Cons

At the far end of odd, people can be inflexible and misfocused. Tolerance for strange behavior can shade into a failure to enforce any kind of norms.
