You will be at a disadvantage - Anonymous employee Catalyte Employee Review

If you come through the cycle, the contract will be used to management's advantage and not yours. This will be sold to you as if it's for your benefit while they relabel wages/positions to fit their desires. If you aren't one of the chosen ones, your career will be mostly ignored.. but upper management will still be shocked by your desire to leave (It's a combination of both extreme optimism about how much you should love the company and cynicism that you will be loyal to people who are not loyal back) People will talk a big game about fixing the wage issues, but no one will actually do so. (A big pay bump rollout resulted in a $1 per hour increase, and one of the executives gave a presentation on retirement which still had a slide about 401K matching, to which he stuttered with, 'Uh, we don't do that', then skipped it) It's rare to receive much useful advice from mentors who have gone through the cycle because they don't know enough to steer mentees towards meaningful knowledge and even outside hires have the same difficulty
