Pros

- Great pay and benefits - Exposure to iconic brands and retailers - External training > internal training

Cons

Leadership is all over the place with no clear direction, lots of chaos, and endless meetings and trainings that feel like a waste of time. Onboarding is basically nonexistent, and new hires are left to figure things out with zero support. Questions are often met with judgment instead of help, which creates a culture of shame rather than growth. Favoritism is common, and it shows. People are handed roles they aren’t prepared for, while real talent goes undeveloped unless you’re willing to relocate to Summit and drop a million dollars on a house. The culture lacks any real spirit or camaraderie. Leadership feels disconnected and out of touch, with our group president mostly known for name-dropping his European ski trips. Working after hours is not just common, it’s quietly expected. And unfortunately, many of the most capable people are already planning their exits for companies that actually respect their time and effort.

Pros

Writing this pains me because my time at Kenvue and previously JNJ was actually quite good. My team was incredible and filled with a lot of dedicated, hard-working colleagues that were ready to collaborate and uphold a system of values and standards. Kenvue itself had great benefits and all and all, I had a wonderful boss, whom is no longer with the company, who allowed me to have a great work-life balance. Unfortunately Kenvue decided those values and knowledge replaceable, and laid off our entire team.

Cons

Kenvue does NOT value employees, point blank. They only value dollar signs and what they can get out of you. They preach work-life balance and owner mindset, and a lot of other corporate garbage but ultimately do not uphold the practices they preach. It's a shame because they let go of a lot of people who actually cared deeply about the products and problem-solving to provide the best care to consumers.
