Pros
Benefits (4 weeks vacation starting)
Cons
Everything else! After being bought out by RB, the company culture changed and no one is happy. Unless you want to go into management there isn’t a way to advance your career.
Advice to Management
Do the right thing. Stand up to RB and fight for your people.

Pros
The purpose and the vision of the company is the main driver for employees. Puting the responsibility and ownership of nourishing infants and children in employees hands is a well-understood mission. Evansville is a great city with 2-3 hours drive to 5 major cities - Nashville, Louisville, Indianapolis, Saint Louis, and Cincinnati. Great school system including the national #1 ranked Signature high school and two universities...

Like any other big corporation, MJN has opportunities to get better. Especially after acquired by Reckitt Benckiser (RB), we had to go through period to understand synergies and improvement opportunities in between two cultures. This is very normal. Even newly married couples have to go through the same period.
Advice to Management
Keep listening! Understand capabilities and your own jewels within the company.

Pros
Policies differ from production to administration so my review only deals with the admin side of the company. What has always made MJN so great is the people who work there. Being located in Evansville Indiana gave them an excellent source of hard working and devoted mid-westerners who really appreciated their jobs and benefits and cared a lot about the company and their co-workers. Their mission "To provide the best...

Their is a lot of grandfathering with the company changing hands from private to BMS then a public IPO and now purchased by Reckitt Benckiser. It can be frustrating working side by side with people whom you know are earning far more than you for the same job, and will have much better retirement benefits than you could ever dream of (Defined benefits Pensions). The 401K matching program percentages was reduced by RB as...

Your employees are your biggest asset. The Infant Formula market is a long game strategy to win. Corporate conglomerate quarterly profit driving schemes will hurt your business long term.

Pros
The job location in Evansville has individual offices which is a welcome change from cubicles. They also have feee parking and a decent fitness center. The employees are friendly.
Cons
There are major problems if you are looking for a job within the R&D in this company. And if you are looking for a long term career prospect, run away from this company. Some problems are: 1. There are NO promotion opportunities. Moreover, the base salaries went down in 2018 for several employees. This is driven by RB acquisition. For a person who has been here for 15+ years, this was such a bummer. 2. The...
