Pros

Coworkers made the job bearable. The people were very helpful across departments. This place makes for trauma bonding amongst the teams.

Cons

Management in many departments are unqualified and get away with mistreatment of employees. Management turns a blind eye to complaints and protect each other rather than the employees. The turn around at this company was insane until the current state of the market. People can't leave if people can't get a job somewhere else. This is the only reason why many people stay here. In comparison to other companies, I felt quite stunted at Catalent. They hinder employees when asked if they can try new things well within their job description or department. Pay varies extremely even if they tell you it doesn't. Talk to coworkers and find out what they make in comparison (for the same amount of work). It can be baffling.

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”
