The private sector also has strict regulatory compliance, taxation and legal systems to deal with. The accuracy and quality of work was vastly better than anything I saw in academia, which I continue to be shocked by in how sloppy much of it is. Companies can be fined huge sums and the perpetrators jailed etc., which most academic staff don't have to think about.
