Pros

Working at a top tier company Some opportunity for travel to major project sites Teaches you discipline Friendly staff If you make good connections you can transfer to other teams

Cons

You are pretty disconnected from the rest of the company as the government affairs team is quite small. Not much freedom, and there can be a lot of downtime.
