      I worked at J&J for 4 years and overall it was a WONDERFUL company to work for!

      Pros

      1. The best culture you could ever ask for. When you work for J&J, you aren't coworkers- you look at each other as family! There are not many companies you can say this about. 2. Everyone RESPECTS each other. Everyone treats each other the same whether you are an associate or a VP, everyone is EQUAL and thinks no less of each other! 3. Awesome work/life balance. If ever there was an emergency, it was never an issue if you need to work from home or leave work early (as long as you get your work done). 4. Really, really great managers and leaders 5. J&J tries their best to make their employees happy and healthy. 6. There are TWO gyms on site. They offer classes and even wash your gym clothes for you for FREE! They try their best to keep their employees practice healthy habits like eating healthy and exercising. 7. Everyone is intelligent and a pleasure to work with. J&J does a great job of only hiring the best and brightest people. When I worked there, there was no such thing as failure because everyone was so good at what they do. 8. Very up to date with technology

      Cons

      1. Way too many emails. It was pretty standard to CC everyone and their team/bosses to every email and you are expected to read these emails to know what is going on. 2. Way too many meetings/conference calls. I was an analyst and there would be some many meetings and conference calls that it would be hard to catch up with your work. 3. Very difficult company to get into because no one ever leaves. Everyone there has been with the company for at least 20 years (which says a lot about how great of company it is) 4. For me personally, I felt very underpaid as a reporting analyst for the amount of work I was doing

      Toxic work culture, siloed, poor management

      Data engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Company Benefits: time off, annual raises, exercise reimbursements, pension

      Cons

      - global company working hours - toxic, internally competitive culture (distrust and dislike seen amongst different groups) - Multiple teams and contractors will be working on the same project and will not be informed until end - management is disconnected - distrust in new technology and data - meeting heavy culture - processes are very slow moving, lots of governance/politics - many overqualified employees working underpaid and very basic job roles - resistant to change or transition - resistant to remote work, but poor office culture - no remote working benefits - general unfriendly culture for new employees, not willing to speak - strong distrust in experience/knowledge from academia - non-inclusive, siloed, hands-off approach to leadership

      Don’t Buy The Hype

      Manager, analytics
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The benefits are very good, including good health, insurance, a pension (although the formula keeps changing and it’s not as good as it used to be) and 401k with 6% match. Work\Life balance is entirely rile and manager dependent. Some roles are great and allow flexibility, others not so much. Same goes for people leaders. Before the announcement of the consumer sector spin off, there was a lot of rotational opportunities.

      Cons

      Where to begin….senior leadership doesn’t have a clue. They are so out of touch with employees it’s frightening. Open seating (no set seat, open focus rooms) is the worst concept of all time. Taking important calls from the parking lot or cafeteria is a common occurrence because there is no open space to meet. Most buildings face overcrowding. The new “JNJ Flex” work policy where there are 2 work from home days, one that is assigned to you and Friday is a complete joke. It’s not flexible at all and frankly it was a last ditch effort to keep up with other companies that were offer more flexibility. Don’t buy the hype. They say all Manager and Senior Manager positions are “eligible” for equity compensation, but that’s a lie. There’s almost always none left after covering all the directors and their guaranteed comp. Don’t be fooled, it’s not going to happen so don’t bank on it, even if you get an Exceed on your performance review. Any senior leader in the company worth a darn has left in the past few months and the spin out of consumer products is a disaster. Frankly, if you are thinking of join, don’t buy into the hype of a wonderful culture. It definitely was several years ago, but it’s gone down hill quickly. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a strong company that’s generally well regarded but it’s not quite what it seems.
