Pros

It's a growing company, so you get to experience some things that are already in place at other companies....a unique experience. The company is a private company so it is not subject to some of the scrutiny that may come from publicly traded companies.

Cons

There isn't great communication within the company. There are a lot of changes that are not effectively communicated. Because the company is private, there isn't a lot of visability to proper compliance measures. I think an external company should assist in putting the measures in place.
