      What a nightmare!!!

      Pros

      Salary seems to be 5-10K higher than market place.

      Cons

      A kind of propaganda was created that one must have been blessed in the heavens to work for JNJ. So, until you realize, you will hurt your emotional self by trying to adapt yourself to the toxic work culture. It may hurt your family and friends too. Completely unbearable work culture. When you hit 50, beware your days are numbered. Top Management don't know what employees are doing and they blame employees for their ignorance, especially in R&D. HR IT supposed to lead the credo, but in here politics are worse than in Washington DC.

      I worked at Johnson & Johnson as a contractor

      Sales representative
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      A busy place, nice product launch parties, lots of free product if you are in the product development/tech transfer area. There is a lot to learn. Room for moving around within the company if you are patient. Onsite gym, Starbucks, dry cleaning service, etc.

      Cons

      It's not good to be a contractor here. It will be advertised in your email address, so people will know you are not a full-timer and then they will not respond to your emails, phone calls, etc if they can get away with it. Also, it is a high-stress environment with many people working long hours.

      The Dysfunction Starts at the Top

      Sales representative
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It is truly challenging coming up with one pro as it's one of the most dysfuctional companies and that dysfunction starts at the top. Executives and management are unethical and got promoted for their unethical and illegal activty which is an active business model within Johnson & Johnson (example: Janssen/Risperdal company had to pay $2.2 billion for illegal kick-backs an off-label markeing promotion). Despite that, many of the employees (sales reps) are truly a team and are ethical and hard working but those employees get passed over (or purged) for those willing to play by the JNJ rules often times differ from the actual law, as noted and supported by the DOJ fine.

      Cons

      Management is unethical and their actions are often illegal where they encourage employees to engage in unethical and or illegal activity. Johnson & Johnson management manipulated facts in order to manipulate employees into misrepresnting products to physicians and the community. An employee questioning the manipulation or unwilling to engage in illegal or unethical activity on behalf of Johnson & Johnson may encounter intimidation, threats of job loss, and retaliation. HR is not there to protect the employee but rather the company and the shareholders.
