Disappointing all around - Manufacturing Engineer Catalent Pharma Employee Review

Pros

Pay is decent. Health insurance coverage is ok, but high deductible.

Cons

The company culture is atrocious. The Bloomington Site is rampant with the “good old boy” mentality. Creative problem solving is stifled by old ways of thinking. Due to increased revenue demands, quality is often sacrificed. If you are intelligent, a problem solver, and someone who is proactive and wanting to take initiative to do the right thing, this is not the company for you. If you come here you will fight battles to do the right thing until they break you. They will pay you well, but you will lose your soul and all sense of morality. Additionally, racist acts in the community are tolerated and at worst condoned by leadership and at best swept under the rug. It is truly sad the see the potential that is squandered at this site due to archaic ways of thinking, no accountability, and backward leadership.

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.
