Pros
You get to work on defense contracts. Basically some of contracts involve designing and building large carriers or frigates for the Navy. The work environment is also fairly stable since most of contracts or jobs seem to last anywhere from several months to several years. The people who work there tend to be more laid back.
Cons
I don't feel that the compensation is enough from the engineering side. The bigger companies such as Shell and Exxon are paying their engineers generously and are till reaping a ton of profits. I do believe that an engineer should be paid on his/her merits or accomplishments and his/her seniority.
