Johnson & Johnson reviews

Big bonuses for management which keep increasing every year while bonuses, salary, and benefits for employees keep decreasing every year. Same applies for severance packages. Regardless of how hard you work or how much you do, performance development feedback is negative with no career development in place. Managers are free to exercise their power on employees with no repercussions. It's a political organization. It is not about results but who you know. They run a Credo survey every year only for legal reasons to appear they are proactive, but employees don't believe in the Credo anymore. Workload keeps increasing every year and so do layoffs. Employee morale is low. J&J Management supported by Human Resources and Legal can beat down hard on employees. J&J is skilled at external communications and PR to set up staff as trouble makers. One wonders where the big ship is going when talent is treated in this fashion. They are outsourcing globally in a big way.

Like other large companies, J&J being one of the largest, there is a corporate culture of greed, racism and sexism. Women and people of color are treated poorly and face a hostile environment at best. While the Credo is held up as the model of behavior and the guiding force behind management decisions, it is rarely if ever utilized in any way other than to provide lip service to disillusioned employees. Management thinks nothing of cutting jobs, only to reinstate those same jobs a few months down the road as a contractor position or as a consolidated position. In the meantime, faithful J&J employees with decades of service find themselves looking for new jobs. It is a cold and unfriendly world, depending on the operating company in which you land. The most job security can normally be found at the corporate offices. Of course, with the Human Resources Transformation that is currently taking place, HR (traditionally one of the most secure areas) will be losing a huge number of employees who will be laid off as the transformation nears completion and transactional functions are contracted out.
