Pros

Little/no bureaucracy for engineering/science branches, employees and mentors nice willing to help, relaxed work environment, nice and fairly cheap lunches, plenty of presentations and events (drop testing, hangar visits, talks by chief scientists, branch open-houses, etc.), always new tech being researched, rec. facilities nearby, all types of people

Cons

Some branches may have budget issues, leaving interns with nothing to do. As of Aug. 2016, currently demo-ing more buildings than creating. Wind tunnels are constantly being taken down. Takes months/years to acquire tech worth more than a couple 10K b/c too much paperwork and bureaucracy in "budget" department.
