Generally pretty happy - keep in mind with so many operating companies, there are so many different experiences - IT Manager Johnson & Johnson Employee Review

Pros

* Really good benefits * Appreciate work/life balance * Great training * We treat people well. The credo is shoved down our throats to an annoying level, but it really permeates the company culture where everyone is treated with dignity and respect

Cons

* Perhaps as a counterweight to the benefits, the pay is a bit subpar compared to what can be earned elsewhere * Really inconsistent with job titles and promotions. There are a lot of senior managers with no direct reports, who don't have additional work to do but they keep getting promoted since people like them. And then some managers (junior to senior managers) overwhelmed with direct reports * Per the above, it's also inconsistent across different types of jobs (IT vs HR vs sales vs manufacturing, etc.) even in the same operating company. Some groups of employees in certain verticals are flat-out more valued. This may be my ego and bias but I feel IT is more difficult than most soft skills jobs yet we have less potential job growth than many others

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.
