Pros

Really challenging and interesting environment in which to work! Many of the challenges come from adapting 'real world' techniques, technologies and practices into 'defence-friendly' deployments. Very close community.

Cons

The duration of some of the projects is so long that a sense of 'ownership' is sometimes lost. Often very hard to find new roles for advancement, business promotes 'lateral' movement within a singular business unit, but intra-business unit movement is rare.
