JnJ: Joy and Jealousy

Finance associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

An environment where 'family' is put on a pedestal, where the end consumer is actually thought of as a living human being, not a figure in the books. Growth on human terms, inside and outside the company. Great interaction and communication between senior management (inter and intradivisionally) and respect for work-life balance. Some of the most innovative and effective human resource programs in place today.

Cons

Jealous friends. Also, an ultra competitive talent pool. Sharp minds breed steep hills in advancement. Push yourself to stay ahead, and find yourself mired in and not utilizing the work-life balance programs.

J&J's most valuable resource are its employees, management, and vast opportunities, all driven by the Credo.

Business Outlook

Pros

J&J operates more or less according to their code of ethics, the Credo. Many companies have something like this, but J&J is probably of the few that invokes it on a day in day out basis for making business decisions. That is not to say that it is at times forgotten or even skewed to benefit a select few individuals, but that is only select cases. J&J is excellent at communicating to their employees, personal development, and the management has an open door policy and is very willing to share about their careers and career development with you. There are also potentially limitless opportunities given the sheer size and global presence in J&J and you are definitely encouraged to move around within the company.

Cons

It is limited by traditional, old school corporate thinking in terms of taboos like salary info sharing and lack of new school benefits that some of the smaller healthcare companies may have.

Pros

Great reputation (externally). However, internally one has to wonder whether the J&J credo is truly being valued and followed.

Cons

Lack of advancement, lack of competitive salary
