Johnson & Johnson reviews

J&J has no training program for new employees and out of college students. I started working with J&J as a COOP and I remembering walking and walking cause I had nothing to do. Eventually I looked for work myself and after a couple of month I had more work that I could handle. Everyone recognized my name, as the guy to go for any facilities issues. However I won that myself. There was no training, no guidance and certainly no mentoring. In addition, I always had issues with HR. They always had the incorrect answer to my question. That was the only department in the whole company that I considered incompetent (very ironic). When I quit my job due to another job offer that I had, nothing was done to retain me (but still today they call me to ask me questions) and they even forgot to perform my exit interview! My boss and even the plant manager, asked me a couple of times to rethink my decision, but no counteroffer was presented to me in writing.

Like other large companies, J&J being one of the largest, there is a corporate culture of greed, racism and sexism. Women and people of color are treated poorly and face a hostile environment at best. While the Credo is held up as the model of behavior and the guiding force behind management decisions, it is rarely if ever utilized in any way other than to provide lip service to disillusioned employees. Management thinks nothing of cutting jobs, only to reinstate those same jobs a few months down the road as a contractor position or as a consolidated position. In the meantime, faithful J&J employees with decades of service find themselves looking for new jobs. It is a cold and unfriendly world, depending on the operating company in which you land. The most job security can normally be found at the corporate offices. Of course, with the Human Resources Transformation that is currently taking place, HR (traditionally one of the most secure areas) will be losing a huge number of employees who will be laid off as the transformation nears completion and transactional functions are contracted out.
