Johnson & Johnson reviews

They are very large and overburdened with red tape, too many procedures to manage a single process, a lot of individuals that base their approvals on their own opinions instead of the requirements in the procedures. There was no HR on site, instead they direct you to access or call a remote group that was not very helpful. The company relies to much on contract workers so that it is hard to recruit and retain good employees. Upper management is focused on acquiring new companies and does a poor job of integrating and developing them.

* 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
