Johnson & Johnson reviews

In Technology, there is either a 70% overlap in roles or 100% gap. Organizational management is atrocious. There is a constant feud between Business Unit IT and Shared-Services IT. I've been here for 11 years on both sides in 7 different roles, I promise you that previous assessment is not myopic. Huge amount of waste in the Tech Product Management lifecycle is extremely high. There is generally more people doing project management / coordination tasks on a project then there is people defining, designing, building, testing, deploying and supporting a product. I often have to go on "status update" tours (remember TPS reports from the movie "Office Space") every time something happens. Look this is a great company but the bloat is enormous. If you are someone looking for a pension after 40 years of working the same job 30-40 hours a week, this place is for you. After reaching middle management, it's extremely hard to move up further without spending the majority of the time in a political ruse. I came from their IT leadership development program...I think I'm 1 of 3 left in their original class of around 50...that's pretty common.

-incredible fluctuation, especially I2C department, but also GL and Reporting - there is a reason why there are always positions open in these departments, workload is high, job is not easy, managers lack knowledge or people skills, mostly both, employees can't ask them anything - poor knowledge transfer, usually when someone leaves, new person starts later and gets no knowledge transfer from him - fastly growing organization, too many newcomers, no one knows anything, people with some experience are required to do the most important tasks and teach newcomers for the same money, so they usually leave after a year or two for a better company - low salaries, low chance for promotion if you are not a friend of a manager - many positions will be transferred to Asia in next 5 years - they act like everyone is replaceable, typical Shared service centre
