Pluspunten
The general employee population is made up of such wonderful kind people; it really is like a family in some ways. You can very easily make friends here if you choose to! There are definitely career advancement opportunities if you are in the inner circle.
Minpunten
There are so many cons... First the CEO, he may be very talented and great at what he does, but the constant yelling and demeaning of the staff is embarrassing and over the line. Maybe one of the reasons he is always yelling about people not hitting their numbers is because Katalyst does not see the value in training their staff to do the job they were hired for. They boast an open-door policy for upper management and HR, but that is absolutely not the case. The management of HR loudly and aggressively disciplines staff and their team with their office door wide open for everyone to hear. It is so incredibly inappropriate, and it makes the employees who sit outside that office feel very uncomfortable. They have no respect for the employees and constantly go around to their management friends and tell confidential information. They are probably the biggest rumor perpetuator at the entire company. Not to mention their incessant cursing all throughout the office, and even during their company wide lunch announcements!! All of upper management is one giant clique, where if you are in the inner circle you can basically get away with murder, and there will be no repercussions. There is also so much nepotism at this company it borderlines on incest. They PREFER to hire family members and friends of their current employees over any outside people. This creates so much drama and a serious lack of productivity among the staff; there is a reason most companies don’t do this.
