Pros

Catalent provides challenging work that will keep you engaged in your work while creating a overall atmosphere of hard working individuals all coming together to work

Cons

While staff are very pleasant the company does not seem to be very keen on investing in senior staff. This ultimately leads to any mentions of pay increases performance reviews and promotions being pushed off. Time does not seem to pass in terms of job performance, you are expected to come in and work and are told "good job" yet it does not mean much when the company refuses to invest in itself and it hurts the overall job experience. This leads to months passing by and nothing really happening, by taking on more responsibility you are hindering your day to day since you are now expected to take care of those responsibilities without any addition compensation. Another con is work life balance. While Catalent will pride itself on this most weeks consist of 50 - 60 hours regularly. It is very hard to leave the facility on time since there is so much to do and when you do leave "on time" questions start to arise such as "why was this not taken care of last night" and "we were able to get this done before, why is it taking longer now?" This job will refuse to respect the time of its employees and what their interests are in favor of increasing production to meet demand without addressing any issues about staffing.

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.
