By far my favorite and yet most challenging job ever.

Pros

As well as echoing all the positives from the other reviews, I love that my opinion counts and is listened to. I feel that I can affect change if I have a good idea. I love coming to work every day and working with some amazing and trusted friends to make a positive difference. I can't say enough positive things about this place. But I'm a realist. I know we have issues (see below) but the good so outweighs the negatives. I love my job!

Cons

We are growing fast and while many of our problems are good ones to have (e.g. can't hire fast enough), we have genuine issues. Our internal communication can be very poor. Even though leadership is very open, we can be awful at communicating change officially and instead rumors just start. We struggle to keep up with documentation and create consistency in our methodologies. That being said, it is a safe environment to surface these issues (I would not be afraid to say all this in an all-company meeting). Furthermore, I feel that we have the support to address and take ownership of issues like these. So, if you want a job where you are told what to do and how to do it, this is NOT the place for you; however, if you want somewhere where your voice can be heard and where you not only have the freedom but are encouraged to innovate and find new solutions, then this IS for you.

Thank you for your kind review, but also for your words of advice. I agree that we have genuine issues, just as all companies do. I also agree that while we are quite open as an organization, and quite willing to share, we haven't yet figured out the most effective processes for communicating tactically with our organization, and this is one of our genuine problems right now. We are committed in the weeks and months ahead to make progress on this, and make this better. Thanks again!

Thanks for the response. We talked just this week in leadership about how we manage our interactions with clients so that we maintain an appropriate balance between saying yes to our clients needs, and empowering them to take ownership for some requests. This will be tricky, but something we are actively reviewing. Thanks!

Pros

There are many pros. Working from home has been a very positive in my work/life balance. The work schedule is very flexible and if I need to go to one of my kids sporting events during the day, no one has issues with it. The culture is very much one of get your work done not you have to be at your desk from 9:00-5:00. As a small company there are lots of opportunities to help build processes and standards and get our hands dirty.

Cons

Just as being small can be positive, if one is looking for a company with well defined processes, Catalyst is probably not the place to be. I'd much rather, however, work for a company where I can contribute and build than a large company where my voice isn't heard.

Thank you for your thoughts. I agree we are very dynamic, and that can make some people uncomfortable as they watch the "sausage making process". I agree that, for me at least, the uncertainty that comes with a fast growing business is a positive element. Thanks for all that you do!
