SC Johnson reviews

Lots of big goals with inconsistency in how to execute and prioritize. 5 year strategy guaranteed to fail. Innovation is dead at that company. They don’t invent any new formulas, products, or marketing besides line extensions or fragrance changes. The leading edge of the creative, charismatic, and ambitious people have already moved on. Climbing the ladder has little to do with merit but who you have as an advocate to drive your career. Basically a bunch of middle to upper management trying to take care of each other. Network hard perception is everything. Marketing is weak and a revolving door. HR is either generally incompetent or does next to nothing it’s hard to tell. Tons of processes, reviews, gates and everyone’s opinions given on every project wrapped up into a swell process. You can’t manufacture good product development it requires technical expertise and experience. Lastly Racine as a location is about as desirable as a cold shower.

Narcissism embedded to comfort the CEO who has the job based on birth right not ability. Senior management willing to be the more committed sycophant as not to not let this be revealed and the commitment to cut costs to fund trust funds of ever expanding dependent Johnson family members creates a culture of transaction.
