Pros

A lot of knowledge can be gained about many, many areas (even outside of your field), a very diverse pool of people, fair pay.

Cons

Seemingly unstructured, at times not a clear idea of who really reports to who, performance assessments/reviews need to have more emphasis and when they do more thought needs to be put into them, can be very hard to work with certain people or upper-levels (stubborn mindsets), very old school in many areas making it difficult for change. On that same note, if you're a younger person (<30) it seems you will not have much reputability.

Pros

Good for starting and ending a career in engineering — solid training and plenty of software available. Good benefits and WLB.

Cons

Most projects are PreFEED, so lots of generic work, and they tend to overhire for these projects. It’s hard to make it to the middle ranks here because of the overhiring and layoff on contract loss cycle. The 980 schedule is actually meant to be a 10-hr day, as they began to emphasize the importance of taking lunch. TOWP and sick days are lumped together and earned on an accrued basis, so vacation days are valuable in the beginning. You can be paid your vacation days at the end, too, when your salary is higher… the consequence is that people come in sick all the time.
