Catapult Consultants Reviews

Current Employee – been working at Catapult Consultants

Pros – Ability to network and make your own path, You can cross-train in many fields.

Cons – CEO is not experienced (definitely not as experienced as stated on wesite), Lack of communication to employees, Always looking for a way to cut corners, employees are not treated equally, very much the practice of the good ole boys network in play for every position in the place of management, lack of training provided.

Advice to Senior Management – Give the CEO something to do, VP of Finance (should be demoted he is really VP of Payroll), Pay attention to the trends of other SUCESSFUL employers and get better rewards

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Former Employee – worked at Catapult Consultants

Pros – A good environment to meet people young in their career for networking purposes, VERY smart and supportive COO, You can make your own career path if you are well liked.

Cons – The leadership is lacking, lack of organizational structure, good old boys network heavily favored, leadership lacks ability and skill to lead others, opportunities only come to favored employees, revolving door of HR, VPs are treated like gods by the CEO (they get trips, and retreats, while regualr employees get pot lucks and apps paid for at Happy Hours, unless the COO pays out of pocket)

Advice to Senior Management – Dont just reward the employees you like but to instead look at all of the employees to cultivate positive and mentorship like relationships. There is stronger leadership needed with less back stabbing. Stop watching the bottomline on everything instead reward the employees and show appreciation outside of corny "Social Hours" and pot lucks. Offer more than false promises and provide more support to all employees in career growth and a better work environment.

Former Employee – worked at Catapult Consultants

Pros – Senior management is very adept at miscommunication. Somehow they manage to keep the company afloat

Cons – in the last few months there have been droves of personnel leaving the company, all with the same feeling that they are utterly mismanaged and often ignored and lied to

Advice to Senior Management – Learn how to listen to your staff and learn how to lead. a young egotistical leadership group of good ole boys is not what a real company needs to survive.

Current Employee – been working at Catapult Consultants

Pros – Salary is a little higher than other government contractors.

Cons – This applies primarily to the Marines business market.

Micro management, poor project management, and no appreciation for hard work. The VP of the company apparently wants to dictate what needs to be done, how it should be done, and when it should be done. The team I was with worked very hard for the client and had to put up with a lot of government BS. However, management decided that the team could do multiple projects at the same time. So not only did employees had to manage expectations of the client, they had to manage expectations of their employer as well. WTF?!

The VP also had his own hench men that he brought and I guess they're awesome because most of what they can do and promise to the client can be done in a day or few days. Unfortunately some government clients believe them and the actual work is not done by his hench men, but by employees that already have full time work.

The COO decided to speak with us, the frontline folks and meet with us one on one. We all gave our speil about the work, the client, and management. He was much more personable than the VP. He even acknowledged the same silly issues as us unfortunately at this moment it doesn't appear he took any action based on the feedback.

Advice to Senior Management – Show appreciation to your employees on the frontline, especially if they are no where near the head quarters. Give better bonuses especially if they are helping you win the contract. Be flexible! You and ever other government contractors core value should be to do great work for the client & your country and NOT lets win a contract to suck the tax payers money.
