Pros

There are a lot of development opportunities at Catalent. You definitely learn a lot of you are starting your career. The benefits are fairly good and the compensation is competitive.

Cons

I worked at Catalent in Bloomington for six years. We grew up too fast that it was scary. Upper management made so many commitments that at some point we were slaves. Some people had their PTO cancelled to meet demands. I worked extensive hours to meet business needs but we were always short staffed and it was impossible to catch up. I heard things were going to get better for 4 years but they never did.

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

Adequate amount of PTO and suitable medical benefits and 401K. Co-workers were helpful and good resources when needed.

Cons

Difficult to receive promotions, as site GM, HR, and Global have to approve. No/very small annual increases. Departments need to hire additional support; again, difficult to get management and global to approve, thus a lot of turnover. Site directors/managers had conflicts between departments. Some would intentionally undermine other department heads if it suited their interest. Two directors have personal relationship, which seems to be conflict of interest.
