Used to be great but has gone down hill

Pros

The reason people stay is because of the great benefits and the people that work here. I've made great friends here and stay because of these two reasons.

Cons

With the merger, even though not much has changed, the pressure and culture is changing. My current manager is a micromanager and creates an environment based on criticism and bullying. I want to run but need a job.

Pros

The salary was reasonable and I liked that I could work from home.

Cons

No training...I was a contractor and the group I went into didn't share or show how to do the job. They are insecure if you have more experience than they do!

Pros

If you can get one of the increasingly rare FTE positions, pay is good, the people are fabulous, the work is interesting.

Cons

Janssen, like all J&J companies, has a weird habit of systematically devaluing current FTEs. Cubes are shifted around to be smaller, work flow is interrupted regularly by reorgs, current FTEs are pushed down in the hierarchy as new people are placed on the top. They've removed all actual workers, most mangers and are now shaving off Directors, leaving Janssen as a holding company with VPs and above and contractors doing most of the work. As employees reach their 50s or get close to vesting, they should expect to be reorged around and their job disappeared.
