Pros

absolutely none ( Catalent is TRASH)

Cons

Worst company I have worked for in my working life of 47 years. Turnover rate is higher than McDonald's. Your opportunity is limited if you are black no matter how well you perform at work. I've heard multiple green card jokes, black jokes, and homophobic jokes. One of the top companies sued over racial discrimination. Don't take my word for it, create a pacer account and go and look for yourself.

We are sorry to hear of your experience. Catalent does not tolerate illegal discrimination and takes allegations of such very seriously. If you believe you were discriminated against, we urge you to contact Catalent’s Business Conduct Helpline ((800) 461-9330 (U.S.), +1 (720) 514-4400 (outside U.S.), or CatalentMSW.com) so that we may investigate and take appropriate remedial action.

Catalent Never Learns

Pros

-I enjoyed working with 80% of the coworkers in my department. -You will learn a good deal of information fast which helps further your career. A great place to get your foot into GMP. -Overtime available (though they are now cracking down on it). -Competent people will move up quickly.

Cons

-Terrible communication between departments. -Understaffed. -Lack of accountability and organization. Most of my time at Catalent we lacked a staffing calendar so if multiple people took off it would put a lot of strain on the department. -Growing at a rate that hiring/training cannot keep up. -Offer less than my minimum salary range, told overtime would cover the difference. Now the company is cracking down on overtime. -Have to wait a year before moving departments. Six month is more than adequate in my opinion.

Pros

Plenty of overtime, if that's what your looking for

Cons

COMMUNICATION!!!!! It took me two weeks to be introduced to any of my team members, and that was due to me asking the only person I knew to introduce me to the team. Scheduling is very poor if it exists, mandatory overtime is expected almost everyday, no work-life balance, not enough parking or office space for the amount of people they currently have on site (and they want to bring back more despite a raging pandemic). Watch out for security if you are sitting at a vacant desk despite the fact that it's open seating.
