      Pros

      I've been part of other great companies - and I can honestly tell you that I haven't been part of a team with more passion for what we do than here at Catalent. This is a place that understands its purpose - to help improve people's lives - and the people that stay are the people motivated to make a difference in this world in some shape or form.

      Cons

      We have to ensure everything we make is safe for the patients to take - people's lives are at stake. this adds significant pressure to the environment. It's necessary given the potential results if we get it wrong. Accountability, resiliency and the ability to handle pressure are necessary skills to thrive here.

      Exhausting and frustrating

      Pros

      Excellent exposure for junior project managers of contract manufacturing. You will learn five years of experience in 18 months. Good stepping stone for those wanting to transition into pharmaceutical project management.

      Cons

      Sink or swim environment. Extremely under resourced; only two or three people on a project team (a project manager and a process engineer) everything else is a shared service (quality, sterility, regulatory, etc...). You will average 55-60hr weeks as a project manager which is why you will learn so much. Project manager has all the responsibility and none of the authority. Very, very, very conservative change control attitude. Very stressful if you want to only work 40 hour weeks. Silo mentality. High attrition rate. Lots of time spent retraining new hires that leave. Pass the buck attitude, lack of ownership. Upper management that has stayed cares most about their bonuses and new cars. Favoritism and nepotism run rampant and things only get done for those who scream the loudest. Poorly organized logistically. Unrealistic expectations. Zero work/life balance. Everyone is always crabby because they are overloaded with work. Don't work here if you have kids.
