Pros

I work remotely, so I'm able to set my own hours and not commute. My manager is very flexible with my working-from-home situation, which I appreciate. Our company benefits are incredible - 3 months of paternity leave has been such a blessing for our growing family. Direct flights from Madison to SLC make office visits very doable.

Cons

I do miss out on some of the all-hands events that take place in SLC, even though I am often able to take my family out to equivalent events (movie outings) and then be reimbursed. I wish we had a better company directory - it's hard to put names and faces together from email alone - the company directory we DO have is clunky.

Great to hear from one of our remote team members! We do try to make sure we do all we can to keep our remote team members engaged and sharing in the journey. This gets tougher the bigger and more spread out we become, but so important to keep pace on this concept in the face of that growth. We will do our best to exceed your expectations on this front. Regarding the better directory-- we hear you. We don't like the old one very much either. This will be something that we will incorporate as part of our intranet project. If you have been around Catalyst for awhile, you will know that the intranet is one of those projects that has kicked around without any real focus for too long. I am happy to say we are almost ready to kick off a project team to tackle this and make improvements. Stay tuned!

Thank you for sharing your perspective. We appreciate your recognition of the strengths the company had before this year and the dedication of team members during challenging times. As we shape our 2026 strategy, we’re carefully evaluating how we allocate resources to ensure organizational success, identifying where to invest and how to utilize those resources most effectively, all guided by a clear and focused plan. Your feedback is helpful, and we will continue to communicate updates as progress is made. -Ben Albert

Pros

Great Talent & Culture: The people here are highly capable, collaborative, and committed to helping each other succeed. The partnership between onshore and offshore teams works well and is a real strength. There’s a culture of grit and stability that has helped the company navigate multiple major transitions over the years. Mission-Critical Engineering: The work involves complex data infrastructure that requires deep technical expertise. It can be demanding, but seeing these systems run successfully and support real-world operations is consistently rewarding.

Cons

Wage Compression and Retention Risk: Compensation for tenured and high-performing staff has not kept pace with the market for specialized data engineering and support leadership. In practice, tenure can feel undervalued or even penalized. This creates risk around losing institutional knowledge and operational continuity. Stagnant Career Progression: Contrary to stated expectations, strong performance ratings do not consistently translate into meaningful, market-aligned compensation growth. The process of how compensation is benchmarked lacks clarity in practice, obscuring how compensation decisions are made and what is required to advance.
