      Skeptical at J&J - Project Manager Johnson & Johnson Employee Review

      3.0
      Apr 8, 2009
      Project manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It is an environment of smart people, with a relatively relaxed approach to daily grind, freedom to work remotely if needed. Good corporate citizen, offers many volunteering opportunities and truly believes its Credo (mission statement). Good opportunities to learn the specifics of technology and regulatory implications. Opportunity to get used to real "corporate jungle" environment. Is most useful for somebody at the beginning of the career, as a stepping stone since from here you can go anywhere in the medical industry. Decent pay and benefits and the fact that the products help people makes a big difference in the level of motivation.

      Cons

      Weak strategic thinking, top heavy, disconnect between top management and middle management.

      Pros

      There is a good work life balance.

      Cons

      - bureaucracy, everything take longer than needs to - culture is "J&J nice," precludes discussing difficult problems blocking progress - hostile to people with autism or others with neurodivergence - diversity is poor, if you are black you very likely not feel "seen" - higher penalties for women being assertive than men - will engage in constructive discharge to get rid of people perceived as difficult to work with - The ratings for employees are on a curve, if you are in a strong team, higher ratings are hard won, not everyone can be exceptional, even if they meet the J&J definition of exceptional. - Feedback is vague, not specific, actionable or helpful. Some manager are good coaches, but they are exceptions. - If you get a moderate rating you are in danger of being laid off. - In the Bay Area, pay is not competitive. HR has data saying otherwise, but I assure you, it is incorrect. Odds are, you will take a pay cut to join.
