Raritan, NJ

Current Employee – been working at Johnson & Johnson full-time for more than 7 years

ProsGreat company, that follows its credo putting patients first. Good work/life balance depending on the position. Ability to rotate jobs internally often and have new learning opportunities. Solid health benefits. Lots of feedback cycles to continually improve

ConsBureaucratic environment, lots of red tape. Can have silo mentality. Can be difficult to rotate in the position best suited for you. Most campuses are located farther outside of any major city so commutes can be long.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Philadelphia, PA

Current Employee – been working at Johnson & Johnson full-time for more than 7 years

ProsGreat people, great history, respected past practices

ConsClaim to want your ideas to improve company but a misnomer...
Worked in a department that hired consultants and took their opinions over seasoned employees. If you get wrong comment in your hr file or special code you will never be hired again in ANY jnj division. Very disappointing.

Advice to Senior ManagementFlush hr files and dismiss do not hire practices. Respect knowledge and opinions of experienced employees. Why give employees classes on process excellence then not be able to apply rules to own workplace!!

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
