Pros

None - demoralizing & degrading

Cons

HR and management are huge jokes - they terminated people right before bonus distribution time so they can claim they came under budget

Good old boys club

Pros

On site cafe is hit or miss.. mostly miss. Food costs are reasonable though. Good PTO but still always want more :) especially when you work somewhere like this

Cons

Extreme nepotism and sexism in promotions and opportunities. Managers and directors are often married to other managers and directors. They socialize together, been to each other weddings, their kids go to school together. Good old boys club is rampant. Men can act unprofessionally, tell off supervisors and they are hailed as "great leaders" and "keeping it real" if women act that way, they are abrasive and bossy. Men can take long lunch break, over commit to projects they don't finish on time and they get "exceeds expectation" in their reviews. Women work twice as hard and get none of the credit. Take a short break and your supervisor gives you the stink eye. The truth is it's a deeply ingrained "good old boys" club and you're not invited.

Pros

There are some good personnel few and far between who do care about the cause of Catalent, but they have no power to make any change.

Cons

No communication between departments, no communication from upper management, toxic work culture, pressure to do everything now not doing things right or safely, no work/life balance, you can get away with doing nothing with no consequences, lack of support from upper management, lack of knowledge in management, hard workers are punished while slackers are promoted, lack of amenities, hr never responds to emails, no one is on the same page, departments try to overextend their importance, nothing improves, conference rooms always booked or you have to move for someone "important", subpar salary leaning toward undervaluing employees, unrealistic deadlines.
