Pros
Amazing lunches, fika and Friday beers. Catena is also very good at throwing parties and having fun. And a lot of people seem to do very short days, and spend most of their time by the football/tennis table or at the barista. It’s nice if you just want to relax for a year at the Mediterranean Sea.
Cons
No real ambition to actually do a good job. HR can not be trusted. Everything you tell them can be used against you. The “fun” guys are more rewarded than the driven, ambitious people. They also don’t do enough to be an equal workplace for men and women. Women cannot be promoted in the organization. They think they have this “one office culture”, but it’s clear that they don’t value people on different floors in the same way. And the company culture is completely different in different departments. It’s also very annoying when you’re hard working and ambitious to see that others are hardly working and still gets by.
