Really tough

Pros

The work can be interesting, in particular the external work to engage with industry and government.

Cons

Railroading and constant charge without direction or focus Duplication of responsibility across new positions in senior management without clearly addressing or even acknowledging issues. The real issue is doing Big Change without experience of how to manage change. Impatience with those who raise issues. Daily uphill battle. A delivery team that's 1/4 the size of the company. The rest are overheads. Creates a very poor dynamic and overload on delivery teams.

Pros

I've very much enjoyed working at the Catapult. Just like other places where I have worked, there have been good times and not so good times. The Catapult sits in an interesting and quite challenging position being partly funded by the government and therefore aligned to the national industrial strategy, and also being able to do other work outside of normal government work. It's been a brilliant learning environment, working with lots of great people across different space capabilities & skills and delivering some really interesting work. It's a place where there are a lot of genuine and kind people willing to help.

Cons

The last quarter of every financial year becomes very busy (Jan to March). - this is mainly down to government finances working this way. It does become super busy at this time and the teams gear up for this.
