Vantaggi
Some of the people you get to work with in Product and Technology are awesome. Too bad many have or are leaving the business. The 5% discount at Bunnings, Target, Kmart and Officeworks is pretty good. We don’t get a discount on anything at Catch, but we do get free OnePass, which is worth about $40 a year, yay.
Svantaggi
Catch use to be a fun place to work, where you get to work on exciting things and trying to solve real problems. Now, over the past 6-12 months everything seems to have changed. From the culture to how we do things. Everything seems like a mad rush with no real plan and more of a hope and dream rather than anything concrete. People are leaving all over the place and taking their experience and in many cases the culture with them. The technology is a huge problem and making any meaningful change is almost impossible either due to the complexity of the problem or because of politics, or now because everyone is so busy that we haven't got the time to do anything. The platform is a complete mess and no-one is willing to try and fix it. Instead, there is a constant need to add more features, add more products, add more sellers and make more GTV. Management also seem to be misaligned. There are a few great managers at Catch but no strong leaders who are willing to make a decision around what we should and shouldn't do.
