Catalent Pharma reviews

Management sucks!!! Supervisors do not want to do their jobs correctly so a few employees do the work while the others who are supervisors friends sit around doing nothing all day. Basically lower management lies to the peon and upper management, then Upper management lies to everyone. We are trying to do a proper job with equipment that only minimally works. And some equipment and rooms don't work at all. Management doesn't want to put money into fixing equipment we already have that is broken. But they have spent money on equipment that is never put into use because it was never validated. They start projects and within weeks they lose interest and go on to something else. Staff has been cut back to skeleton level and some weeks there simply isn't enough work to keep us busy and other weeks we are slammed. Between problems with scheduling and raw material availability , there seems to be no communication at all. The work area is filthy by my standards but they seem to think if is fine.

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.
