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.

Pros

The team is incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and supportive, which has made it easy to learn and feel comfortable asking questions. There is a strong focus on training and collaboration, helping me feel safe, well prepared, and confident in my role. I also appreciate the benefits, which support a good work-life balance.

Cons

One area for improvement is the flexibility for new employees regarding remote work hours.

Pros

PTO (if you could actually use it) is top tier

Cons

Don’t even know where to begin. Understaffed like you couldn’t believe. Unrealistic expectations for workload. Micromanagement to another level. Work life balance doesn’t exist. If you bring it up you’ll be told “that’s just the job”
