Pros
Johnson & Johnson is all about relationships. People here say that all the time and they mean it. To get your foot in the door, 8 times out of 10 (Not all the time, but pretty much) you’re going to need a referral that carries weight. Once you’re here you’ll be surrounded by the best in the business, but to expand you’ll need a healthy combo of being amazing at your job and being on the radar of the right people. JNJ is made up of over 250 subsidiary companies. If you’re willing to play the game (Not lose your integrity, but hustle), and you lean into a the JNJ Credo, your growth can be exponential. And if you ever decide to leave (Why would you and lose out on that sweet pension?) you’ll be able to go and work almost anywhere else and command top dollar. Very meaningful work with opportunities for stretch assignments and talent development program. Company provides up to 20k for surrogacy.
Cons
No real complaints. The 401(K) match could be higher, but given the pension I figure it comes out in the wash. There are some teams that lack serious diversity, which is likely a result of the “Relationships” culture, but the company has made recent commitments to addressing DEI.
