Catalent Pharma Reviews

Pros

The company is committed to diversity and inclusion, is relaxed about start times, and is fair about their enforcement of policies and procedures. My department is full of fun, caring people who make coming to work every day easy. My manager and the managers and directors in other departments are always more than happy to help me succeed and move up in the company. I have not witnessed any unethical or non-compliant...

Cons

The workload is heavy- typical of a growing contract manufacturer- and change is constant. If you can't put in the work and embrace change, you won't make it here. The benefits aren't bad, but are nothing to write home about.

Advice to Management

Consider allowing flexible scheduling and/or work-from-home opportunities.

Pros

The mission is a great one - developing medicines that help people live life to their fullest. The people who work there are, for the most part, dedicated and helpful.

Cons

The management culture was difficult because expectations were not clearly set and there was contention between the operations side of the organization and some of the support organizations. Improvements were being discussed so it could have improved.

Pros

OK benefits and one gets Vacation on day one

Cons

Need to spend time training the employees

Advice to Management

learn how to schedule projects well

Pros

If you have the credentials and knowledge for your job in Management they will pay you at or above industry standards.

Cons

The decision making is not consensual. There are decisions that being made based on achieving numbers...only.

Advice to Management

Keep in mind it’s the people that makes a company. When hiring people make sure they are capable and have the necessary skill set to accomplish simple tasks and adhere to policies and procedures. In addition as Senior Management make sure decisions being made are based on something besides just making the numbers (EBITDA). Health and wellness should always be considered as well. The company could be so much more but everyone...

Pros

Working at Catalent has been an awesome learning experience. Everyone has been so nice and willing to teach. The company is in a period of growth. If you are willing to learn then its the perfect environment for you. It is very fast paced and every day isn't the same. The insurance is good and I believe it is reasonably priced.

Cons

The hiring process was long and the process was not conveyed well. There has been a lot of turn over through out the site and process have suffered for that which causes some tasks to be more difficult than they have to be. If systems were put into place that could be easily passed along then the whole site would run more smoothly.

Advice to Management

I think that HR needs to be better at discussing timelines and keeping to the timelines discussed during the hiring process.

Pros

Benefits if they give them to you.

Cons

Excessive overtime during close week; If you have any health problems even if minor they will find a way to fire you; Do not go to HR with any problems or questions because they will find a way to fire you. This organization will kick you when your down.

Advice to Management

Treat long term employees with dignity and respect

Pros

Flexibility and opportunity to learn

Cons

Difficult to get capital request

Pros

- The people within certain depts. are very nice and helpful - The PTO given - Well diverse

Cons

- Huge crunch/push at the end of each month - Upper management tends to focus on money more than growing its employees - Salary behind within the industry

Advice to Management

Create a better work/life balance and an environment that caters more to your employees rather than your customers (internal & external). Do what is necessary to boost morale as it's suffering big time.
