Johnson & Johnson reviews

* Pay is low for Bay Area. * Limited healthcare plans. After acquisition my open enrollment options reduced from a dozen plans to two plans. * Don’t expect any stock rewards unless you’re management. * No investment in individuals – long term incentive plans are tied to impossible milestones * Lots of talk about the Credo, little in action. * Upper management is in a different world and seems indifferent to the concerns of the rank and file. No transparency whatsoever. We ask many questions during our weekly calls, but few ever get straight answers. Some don’t even get a response, and answers are rarely written down or recorded so you have to rely on management to not change their opinion. * Constant pressure to go into the office, even when you’ve stated your health concerns with COVID. You’re an essential employee if you’re R&D… better to be an engineer at a company where you can work at home.

1. Way too many emails. It was pretty standard to CC everyone and their team/bosses to every email and you are expected to read these emails to know what is going on. 2. Way too many meetings/conference calls. I was an analyst and there would be some many meetings and conference calls that it would be hard to catch up with your work. 3. Very difficult company to get into because no one ever leaves. Everyone there has been with the company for at least 20 years (which says a lot about how great of company it is) 4. For me personally, I felt very underpaid as a reporting analyst for the amount of work I was doing
