Serious Leadership and Culture Problems - Anonymous employee Catalent Pharma Employee Review

It is a sweatshop. Staff and processes are routinely scheduled beyond capacity. There is no prioritization, just management by nagging. People are put into competition for an insufficient amount of resources and then held accountable if they don't win what they need. This leads to some bad behaviors. There can be a lack of cooperation among departments. Information hoarding and territorialism are real problems. Long hours are expected, forfeited PTO is common, and there is constant intense pressure to do more work, faster. If something goes wrong, the usual leadership reaction is to find someone to blame instead of fixing the business problem. Several of the leaders can be really disrespectful or aggressive when interacting with staff. More than one person has told me war stories about having survived managers who frequently drove them to tears. Needless to say, turnover is very high.
