Pros

This is completely result oriented company; the consultants must meet the deadlines, but are completely free to manage their working hours. The company is focused on international recruitment services, so the consultants are often working on international processes in other countries which mean a time difference between the country and Spain so the consultant has to adapt to the local schedule of the candidates. It means that sometimes they have to do interviews early morning or late afternoon. Catenon offers possibility of home office, so they can work and do the interviews from home. They have no pressure to be in the office waiting until late evening to do the interviews. I think that is the most modern way of working in a global world. Another selling point is the great working atmosphere; people are young and really very friendly; always prepared to have fun and work as a team.

Cons

The work of consultant is mostly recognized by the clients and team leaders, not by senior management. The promotions are very strange and based on some strange criteria which nobody knows. A good consultant with languages has no possibility for professional growth; because he/she is doing his/her work well. That's why people without language skills and without results often gain higher positions and promotions within the company. This is also the way the company loses the talents with international exposure. Can you imagine working on international assignments dealing with the client and when it comes to the final results presentation your team leader doesn't speak English?

Once you're here you realize it is a chaotic company... No leadership Bad salaries (no benefits) No career opportunities No direction - not for the company nor the employees (there's no HR, no career path...) Staying with the worse profiles People are completely demotivated - drain you out!

Pros

i have known Catenon for more than five years. They used to have an attractive culture and business. Now its all past glory.

Cons

They oversell and under deliver, both to the business as to the staff. They claim they have technologies they don´t have. There are disloyal to their employees. Hiring and firing culture. No transparency, no communication.
