Pros

Since 2008 a very disciplined management structure with clear reporting and accountability. Lot of competence and knowledge through an international organization and many people are easy to approach. Good programs for EHS, talent reviews, leadership development.

Cons

There is a clear story line: Catalent needs to go public and for that needs to be profitably growing quarter by quarter. Anything else is sacrificed. If a growth plan is rubbish nobody can say that, as it may impact momentum or enthusiasm. That is going on now for a long time. Most of the managers with an own mind have left the company already and what is remaining survives only by passing pressure through. In consequence they do no appear strong, efficient leaders for their reports.

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”
