Pros

Great creative team and the staff benefits

Cons

Management are miserable and uncaring. Unstable management. Don’t expect to be valued in this workplace. Great benefits but that’s the only thing they do to make you feel valued. Very high staff turn around because of the bad behaviour. You would expect to have something better for such a small company. Expect to work very late. Clients are all from US so the time difference is a killer. As a company they talk about mental health but that’s it. Nothing else. You will enter the place with great health and exist with horrible mental health issues. Their only concern is making money. They don’t even care if they don’t have the capacity.

Pros

Lovely people outside of the work environment Lovely office Good benefits and fair pay Culture of intelligence and diligence

Cons

I worked at Catalysis for a short period of time, around a year. I was made to feel, in that year, very bad about myself. I was excluded from meetings, and then made to feel like I wasn't contributing. I was told I "wasn't good at x, y, z", when I've had opposite and very positive feedback from subsequent clients and bosses. I was told my work wasn't up to standard, despite some of it used for the company's highlights reel after I left. In retrospect, the Senior team may have been insecure themselves. Certainly an insecure culture rippled through the company. But the result was criticism, neuroticism, and a level of nastiness that wasn't great. I have awarded three stars because I think Covid-19 had a disastrous affect on many employees' mental health, and that people were not "themselves". And I liked the team of directors. But there was something very toxic going on with the Senior Team during my time here.
