Pros

Some pretty cool people work here, though many of them have left either voluntarily or involuntarily

Cons

Immature, first-time founders who have absolutely no idea what they're doing. Culture went significantly downhill over the course of a couple of years.

Pros

Catalyst was a great place to work for a long time, providing employees with a good work life balance. Strong leadership team with a good org design and plenty of room for growth.

Cons

After about a year of constant change and finally an M&A, the landscape of a company that used to put people first has changed forever AND the concept of two CEO's is incredibly confusing to the employee population.

Catalyst Software Response
2y
It’s always amazing to hear from our former team members, and your feedback about our work-life balance and leadership is truly appreciated. Whoever you are, I just want to say thank you for everything you've done for Catalyst. The unique challenges brought by the merger and the new dual CEO structure are not lost on me. Change, especially at this scale, is complex and demands a tremendous amount from everyone. Although it’s been just a couple of months since we unified the companies, we're swiftly adapting our strategies to ensure Catalyst's foundational value of prioritizing people is not just preserved but also improved. This transition is also a way for us to adapt to the shifting economic landscape without sacrificing our core principles. More to come on this very soon. The dual CEO model is a part of that strategic response —designed to bring a combo perspective that we feel will be highly valuable in today’s market. As we navigate these changes, my door is always open, and I encourage everyone on the team to please share any feedback with me directly. Thank you once again for your honest input. I wish you nothing but the best and thank you again for sharing your feedback. - Edward Chiu CEO
