Pros
The best thing about Catapult is its people and fun office environment. Company places a lot of emphasis on culture, which provides fun gatherings. The place is packed with really talented, smart people. Leadership is definitely much stronger on the Creative side than the Account side. Very big opportunity to learn and grow within this agency since it has such a need for good leadership. The quality of client mix is good... big and small clients, which allows for different experiences. If the place can get their mojo together, it could be a real player in the industry. Ut has the smarts, some great talent, and the passion/drive of a very successful agency.
Cons
No matter what resources always seem to be the issue here, so a lot of the burden falls on the employees causing many late hours and weekend work. The partners claim they will get resources, but as soon as they don't make their numbers (this is definitely a financially-driven agency), they start making cuts. Account team is extremely inexperienced and the only thing they have experience doing is saying "yes" to clients. PM team is weak and cannot manage timelines or internal timelines. The talents in the group are nothing more than job conveyer belts. Creative team is by far the strongest, but it feels like a few key players keep this place going. A visable disparity between who is good and who just wastes space. Current trifeta parthership at tetop seems smart on paper, but hurts the company because not 1 partner is fully dedicated to the success of the agency. Other cons that should be noted is poor salary range and the inexcusable lack of salary increase and bonus after many employees have dedicated their lives there and work 2-3 people's roles.
