Good place to start your career but has its problems

Senior financial analyst

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

* FLDP is a great program to start your career. The trainings in the program are helpful to learn about the company and the network you gain will help your career * In certain areas of the company, the culture is flexible and you get to work with really intelligent people

Cons

* The pay is low for the amount of hours you work compared to other industries * Most of the company is not flexible in terms of location and they are losing a lot of great talent because of that * The "benefits" are the reason why they justify low pay. The pension and tuition reimbursement have both been cut down significantly over the past few years * The financial systems are a nightmare. The amount of time wasted due to poor systems is obscene for a Fortune 500 company * Management is toxic in parts of the company and work life balance is non-existent if you expect to move up

Pros

Johnson & Johnson is all about relationships. People here say that all the time and they mean it. To get your foot in the door, 8 times out of 10 (Not all the time, but pretty much) you’re going to need a referral that carries weight. Once you’re here you’ll be surrounded by the best in the business, but to expand you’ll need a healthy combo of being amazing at your job and being on the radar of the right people. JNJ is made up of over 250 subsidiary companies. If you’re willing to play the game (Not lose your integrity, but hustle), and you lean into a the JNJ Credo, your growth can be exponential. And if you ever decide to leave (Why would you and lose out on that sweet pension?) you’ll be able to go and work almost anywhere else and command top dollar. Very meaningful work with opportunities for stretch assignments and talent development program. Company provides up to 20k for surrogacy.

Cons

No real complaints. The 401(K) match could be higher, but given the pension I figure it comes out in the wash. There are some teams that lack serious diversity, which is likely a result of the “Relationships” culture, but the company has made recent commitments to addressing DEI.

Inequality and Poor management

Scientist

Business Outlook

Pros

You can get good work experience here and there are some good people to work with.

Cons

On the consumer side there is a lot of inequality. There are a lot of bad managers that just act nice around others but really treat their workers poorly. It happens a lot across most groups and most of these managers are revered at the company and rewarded. It’s very political and the only way to get ahead is to have someone else that has a high status vouch for you.
