Pros

Pros: Oxygen and coffee is free. Everything else you'll pay for like steerage on the Titanic. The only thing everyone at this company has in common is utter denial of the fact that the company is going nowhere. Those who are smart enough are already on a life boat or one of the Carnival Cruise ships somewhere else in RTP.

Cons

Cons: On average you will make approximately $10K - $15K less than you are worth. Disregard your education level, it doesn't really matter, you're going to treated like the analyst maggot that you are. The only thing that matters is the bottom line. Make sure you're ready to work weekends, and for the expectations of your work load to far exceed your capabilities. It's kind of like going through boot camp for four days, being given a bullet proof vest and gun, getting shot in battle, then being reprimanded for getting hurt. Catalent Motto: Here's your project. Figure it out. Don't make any mistakes or we will punish you. Don't ask questions.

Terrible company, worse culture

Pros

Many people work hard and want to do the right thing.

Cons

Worst company culture I’ve ever experienced. MD based HR is the corrupt and take pleasure in firing people. You’re encouraged to keep quiet or risk termination and they actively retain employees that break the rules, falsify information, and compromise the business. There really aren’t enough negative terms to describe how awful this company is.

Pros

PTO starting at 19 days, benefits

Cons

Over the last 6 months, the site has lost numerous high talent individuals in key positions (layoffs and resignations) with no plans for replacement and no communication is given from management. The company as a whole seems to be on a downward spiral and many are continuing to leave for poor job stability, poor management (micromanaging directors, not recognized for work, no succession or development planning, and no shop floor presence), no work-life balance (expected to work on PTO and respond to issues at all hours), and poor compensation (little to no merit increase for the last 2 years). The site has the potential to be great; however the current management staff isn’t acknowledging or implementing improvements and continues to cut cost wherever they can through labor reduction. Cons Lack of on the job training, zero work/life balance, micromanagement, poor communication
