Pros

Great location on the Wilmington Riverfront. Friendly people.

Cons

Unorganized, chaotic, unstructured, and reactive environment. Although several basic frameworks exist, no clearly defined processes or workflows are in place. The organization considers itself an "agile" environment but I think that's more of an excuse, rather than a reality.
