Pros

I worked for KBR in an Army contractor capacity for two years on two tours, one in Kuwait and another in Iraq. Everyone complained about the company all the time, but I didn't have a problem with my job. I just kept my head down, did my job, and left after a year with a big bank account.

Cons

There's the obvious bureaucracy problems, but you're going to have that any time you expand from nothing to tens of thousands of employees in a new theater within a few years. The only cons that I can think of were specific to that particular job, namely working in a war zone in the desert was not a fun place.
