SC Johnson reviews

After two years of complete transformation, still a lot of ambiguity and moving pieces. All top management has been changed with high caliber talent from outside which is has advantages, but essence and values of what made SCJ special sometimes hard to find or completely lost. People more worried about "looking good" in front of the new bosses rather than really thinking what is best for the business and the teams. Many decisions taken without proper education and not considering the impact on business and people. Location-- Ive seen dozens of young employees who tried to give it a chance to commute from Chicago... till now seems an unsustainable situation. Racine is good (not great) location to live if you are a young, calm couple... but other than that, location continues to be a great issue to attract talent.

Culture change in last few years with new, outside senior management coming on board. The private company feel and the value SCJ once placed with their employees has gone away. The company is being managed more like a public company with profit being the key driver. 'Transformation' in recent years has reduced workforce thus creating poor morale with many people. Employees are expected to do more with less people and less resources. Many functions / departments have been outsourced resulting in poorer results versus when they were managed directly by SCJ employees.
