Johnson & Johnson reviews

Cultural Decline - The divestiture of the consumer division marked a turning point, leading to a shift away from core values. What was once a mission-driven organization is now singularly focused on financial outcomes, often at the expense of employee morale and purpose. Identity Crisis - The company is struggling to redefine itself post-divestiture. This lack of a clear direction has resulted in conflicting priorities and a sense of instability across teams. Eroding Trust - Transparency and open communication, once hallmarks of the culture, have diminished. Employees are now left in the dark about decisions that significantly impact their roles and futures. Loss of Vision - The cultural decline has alienated employees who were drawn to J&J for its Credo, which now seems to be just decorations on the wall.

- Toxic leadership especially at Auris. There are teams with significant attrition and it has been made clear that leadership is the problem. Despite multiple complaints from employees leaving to HR; leadership still remains. This goes against J&J’s claim as being a credo based company. - Groups that have consistently demonstrated they are difficult to work with and don’t achieve business goals and sometimes actively block them from getting achieved are still in place. - Leadership team is inexperienced leading to ill informed strategy. Little focus and resources on fixing problems customers have been complaining about to make the basic product do what it needs to. - No solid long term vision to grow market share or even retain business - endless months spent on ‘Discovery’ only to find out that they’re behind the competition. - Heavy handed R&D teams that make poor design choices; does little to understand customers or listen to input from customer facing teams leading to a product customers are increasingly frustrated with. - extremely poor decisions leading to a significant delay in the surgical robotic platform. - continuous loss of great talent due to the above problems. It’s clear that the current strategy is not working and there is no way to surpass let alone catch up to competition.
