Pros

It has some of the advantages of a big company and a little company rolled up together. There's a lot of room for people to work on new projects and products, but you have the resources and perks of a larger company.

Cons

Lots of information seems to get lost. You need to track everything to really know what's going on throughout the company. There's very little internal documentation, and what does exist is out of date. It's clear what you're rated on as far as promotions go, but there's less transparency about other aspects.

Pros

A person can start and polish his IT and/or managerial skills. Some knowledge would be gained.

Cons

Limited knowledge gaining opportunities, some departments are stuck in old technologies and do not want to change due to their leaders lack of interest in learning (but in gaining). People relations are neutral. Overall many manual operations for things can could have been automated long time ago.

Pros

Growing company even in tough times. Accessible leadership. Good compensation and benefits packages.

Cons

Fast growth = young leaders without much experience and lack of formal mentoring and leadership development programs leave many new managers fending for themselves.
