Pros

I'm pretty sure most of the 4 or 5 star reviews are coming from Catalent HR to make the company seem more attractive. I may have my own bias from working there for six years, but NOBODY would describe Catalent as a "great place" if they were being g honest

Cons

Terrible management. Catalent doesn't like its managers to speak openly about bonuses, because they are only offered to mgmt. And they are relatively generous bonuses, all things considered, but non managers get NOTHING. The system is set up to provide enough incentive for managers to work rank and file employees like dogs, and when the fiscal year ends, and the money is getting divided up for bonuses and raises, managers actively work to minimize raises to employees, so there can be extra money to go towards mgmt bonuses. Its a very ugly system, creates a terrible divide between mgmt and employees.

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

Good people and good training Good stepping stone for a pharma manufacturing career clean environment

Cons

Insanely underappreciative and borderline abusive upper management 3+ months mandatory overtime might as well tell your kids they are orphans, you will never be home power hungry micromanagers (spies on people who takes breaks) different pay for everyone cannot stress enough how bad the upper management is, so many people are leaving (even people who have been working for there 5+ years!) because of the lack of appreciation, micromanagement, and clear lack of respect for their workers. very disorganized
