Our People
How would you describe Catalina’s university presence and internship opportunities and benefit to you?
There were hundreds of companies participating in my university’s career fair last year. Catalina stood out among the crowd because of the wide range of roles available across the tech and business spaces and the focus on helping interns to develop in areas they are genuinely interested in. Throughout my ten-week Cloud Engineering internship, my team made it their mission to make me feel welcome, empowered me to work on projects that I was genuinely interested in, share their wisdom and ensure that I got hands-on experience with the latest cloud technologies. By the time my internship was finished, I gained a Microsoft cloud certification, valuable experience, and insights into how a fast-growing technology company operates. The decision to stay with Catalina as a full-time employee was an easy one.
– Torrey, Cloud Engineering
How does Catalina support diversity, equity, inclusion, and belongingness and how does this impact you?
Catalina supports Diversity, Equity and Inclusion by allowing employees to drive the initiatives and ensuring we have the space and resources to be successful. This focus on DE&I has allowed employees to create ERGs. As a founding member of Lifting HER, I am honored to have the opportunity to help create an ERG that supports women at our company through networking, resource sharing, hosting events, workshops, open dialogues and panel conversations. An incredible amount of progress was made since Catalina started focusing on DE&I and I’m most excited that Catalina recognizes there is more progress to be made on this critical initiative.

How has Catalina supported your growth and development both personally and professionally?
I have been at Catalina for the better part of four years and I can honestly say that I still learn something new every day. The needs of the business have changed quickly during my time here and so have my roles and responsibilities. Credit to leadership for the opportunities that I have been provided. It is constant professional and personal growth alongside a group of smart and highly talented colleagues. Choosing Catalina has really been a career-defining decision that I would make over and over again.
