Johnson & Johnson Reviews

Pros

It is a big company that has big company perks which include a pension and on site daycare. Overall the benefits are a bit above average.

Cons

The company is always reorganizing and there is absolutely no security. It is a completely relationship based organization and the minute your connection is out so are you. It is sad to see how the company has declined in the past 10 years.

Advice to Senior Management

Hold people managers accountable for managing people not how good they are at self promotion.
