Pros

If you like your work time spent in actually 'doing' your job and not divide it between attending various planning meetings, then this is a place to be.

Cons

There is actually no process in place for any thing. For growing company, it is time they have some of the basic processes in place. Employees can then spend more time doing their job rather than spending time developing such a process for themselves. Since the process is ad hoc, any changes to the system results in spending some more time in adapting the individual process to the system.
