Johnson & Johnson

"There are a lot of good and smart people here, but the culture seems to be changing."

"I have been at JNJ for 11 years and it has been so supportive of my career and life. I took 2 maternity leaves and did not feel like I missed a beat. If you preform, flexibility and autonomy come with it. Highly recommend JNJ to other women."

"great place with some kind improvement in flexibility, good place to learn"

"No, cannot be honest and always have to be in the office unlike male coworkers. Have to do twice the work and very scrutinized under the Microsoft. "

"J&J is a great place to work. The culture is friendly, the work matters. The hours are long, and the demands are high. Men continue to receive more opportunities for advancement. J&J is working toward equality for race and gender but they aren't there yet."

"It's a good place to work and grow and move up"

"Lots of women in leadership positions, beautiful office and good networking "

"Cannot be honest with your manager and set unrealistic deliverables. Will fire you for pushing back to tell your manager that you need to meet with more people to write the strategy. "

"Good place to work--however it's a massive organization so really climbing the ladder is a matter of time and if you have sponsorship. There's definitely a more conservative culture overall and you do need to be bro-y with many of the men in senior positions to connect with them. Not a bad place to float but not a great place to really reach high and grow (unless you have sponsorship which is difficult to get)."

"I have loved working for JNJ the past five years. I have become a mother of 2 during this time and had three different roles + 3 different managers. Everyone is very understanding of family commitments and is very open to talking about this. Even my male colleagues/bosses. There are many opportunities for growth and the company is pushing more to bring more equality between men and women."

"The company talks about diversity, but they are selective about who diversity is for. Being a woman of color, this company really disappoints me. None of that is true for me. It's a very hopeless feeling when you come to work, do the best you can and are very good at your job, but are looked over, passed by and ignored as an integral team member."

"Cut throat, very male dominated in all positions. Male managers do not like to be questioned."

"Great development opportunities, and lots of possibilities to advance your careers if you put in the work"

"This is a great company if you can get the position permanently. J&J does not regard their temporary staff very high however. They recognize the gift of their expertise, but are not quick to respond in terms of hiring opportunities. This practice is totally unjust."

"Each and every sector and department is different. Be sure to ask your hiring manager their views."

"Overall working at J&J has been a great experience. However, the team culture and senior leader really can make or break a role. It is worth doing research to understand the team and leadership dynamics for the department. There are a lot of great company policies to support women- while most do, not all management teams implement them equally. "

"Great place to work. Significant number of women in leadership roles. Dedicated ERGs for women."

"Try to get an idea of the hiring manager's personality before accepting the job."

"J&J is a highly inclusive and supportive community. Being a part of the J&J "Family" is an accurate description of working here."

"The job feels very secure without lacking on scientific excellence."

"Lots of opportunities to explore and make a positive difference in the world."

"J&J is one of the most amazing places for women to work!"

"Johnson & Johnson is truly an amazing place to work; the company pledges to achieve gender parity even in leadership positions and are numerous efforts to ensure that everyone have equal opportunities despite perhaps even being a young Mum"

"You can have great career accomplishments, all while being your authentic self and integrating/balancing all aspects of your personal and professional life. "

"I have experienced great work-life balance at J&J and the opportunity to work amongst amazing female leaders!"

"It is the best, most flexible and caring employer for women!"

"Great culture. Awesome female leaders across the organization. Diversity and inclusion is valued!"

"J&J is an outstanding company to work for... with an incredibly impactful purpose statement to change the trajectory of human health through science, heart and innovation - you know you’re part of something special. The culture is inclusive and diverse. There is a true commitment to talent development and work-life balance. "

"J&J is a great place to work! We count we a robust talent development program, wellness program, strong D&I culture. J&J value the diversity and the WiSTEM2D program is focus on Women in STEM2D careers. This program not only develop initiatives for professionals . It also develop initiatives for youth and university students pursuing careers in STEM2D. J&J Credo is our north and we live our Credo in every we do focus on our patients, costumers, families, employees, community and shareholder! "

"The most amazing thing about being a woman at J&J is seeing how many women are in leadership roles. I have had more women managers than men and there are women at every level, all the way up to the C-suite. I feel that there is no limit to where I can go and what I can do in this company because of all the amazing role models I can see."

"Don't be shy to ask for what you deserve. If you encounter someone who doesn't seem supportive of inclusion and diversity, there are plenty of pockets of organizations that embrace inclusion and diversity."

"I would tell them that in my short time at the company, I have seen absolutely no difference between the treatment of women vs. men. Women are actually celebrated for their alternate perspectives and are reflectively valued as well. J&J hosts a spectacular environment for women, stemming from benefits to culture to internal opportunities; I couldn't ask for anything more."

"Knowing I work in an organization that not only supports me as a woman, mother and employee, but is also working to improve the lives of the billions of people on this earth is extremely fulfilling. "

"This is a very diverse company which is working to become ever more inclusive and stay true to the J&J Credo. Some functions have achieved significant diversity and gender parity but others, especially in technical and research fields are still difficult for women to achieve full upward momentum to leadership. Fantastic employee resource groups have been formed to focus on broadening diversity and inclusion, but managers vary widely in their knowledge and willingness to support career growth outside of posted openings. If you are a strong networker and continually work to find opportunities and foster relationships on your own, you can chart an unlimited path."

"J&J has a great culture that appreciates and empowers women!"

"As a woman leader in this organization I feel greatly valued. J&J has provided me growth opportunities vertically and horizontally with special assignments that has prepared me for other bigger opportunities. When I think about what retained me at J&J , it is not only all the amazing opportunities that I have as a professional, but the opportunity to really live a CREDO that allows me to support and mentor females at all pivotal stages."

"I have being working for J&J for 18 years. Couple of years ago i needed to stay in a maternity leave for a longer period because just before my return i discovered that my baby had severe allergy problems, i was absolutely supported by the organization. This is the company that i want to be. "

"I feel highly supported as a woman in technology. In my personal experience, I have never felt out of place. I usually don't notice if I am the only female in the room because I was feel I am treated equally and given the same opportunities. "

"Best place to work because: you are continually challenged, you do meaningful work, you are valued as a leader, you work with highest caliber people and it is a company that values your work life balance. It is also just so fun and amazing to be part of!"

"The culture at Johnson & Johnson is based on Our Credo - take a look at the J&J website and you will see it prominently. I am immensely proud to work for such an outstanding company. We work tirelessly to change the trajectory of health for humanity - truly a wonderful place to work."

"I would recommend that women trust in their skills and experiences and to openly discuss their suggestions/recommendation or view of points. It is very important to network."

"J&J is a great place for women to grow professionally and definitely you can expect a work-life balance to work and be with your family"

"Great place to work - good benefits and strong promotion of work life integration. "

"Benefits depends heavily on the country you're working in, so do your research before taking the job!"

"If you don't mind working for big companies, J&J is a solid company to work for."

"Work/life balance, day care on a lot of NA based sites, free gyms, maternity/paternity leave benefits, women in STEM function initiatives at all levels (even elementary school level) and GREAT people."

"The company has made tremendous progress but has a way to go to change the male-dominated culture."

"Be sure to have updated skills, and keep learning as technology advances."

"amazing demonstration of words and actions. our D&I strategy is foundational to our business"

"J&J is a company that does incredible good for their customers and their employees. The Credo really is the foundation for the company. "

"very supportive of working families "

"J&J is a great organization that values everyone’s contributions, men and women. We have employee resource groups that help elevate others and promote inclusion. "

"Company can be more principles based versus politically based ; org and people are people political"

"great place to work, truly take care of their employees and value our ideas"

"Great benefits, super flexible with work/life balance. Lots of opportunities to move across the organization to build upon your experience as well as move up. Tons of resources to build your capabilities with online and classroom trainings"

"This is a wonderful place to work! We have a great Womens Leadership Initiative!"

"I don't feel that gender is ever a barrier in my career opportunities"

"Leadership is very supportive of your needs. Looks at ways to help you progress in your career. "

"Learn to play the games if you want to get ahead, otherwise the position you hire into will be the same one you have when you leave. "

"BE THE BEST THAT YOU CAN BE!!! RESPECT OF WHO YOU ARE COMES FIRST FROM YOU AND IT REFLECTS ONTO OTHERS. "

"High value on women in the workplace, lots of women leaders in high level positions."

"I had been off work for four years because I was raising two kids, no one entertained me when I went back at the end of those four years, but Johnson and Johnson looked at me individually and my experience I had so far and not once did they ask me why I chose to stay at home and loose those four years not working."

"It seems like a good place to work if they will allow you to work there permanently. I would however, tell her not to take a temporary job there."

"Best career decision I made! Amazing company for fairness, culture, growth, caring about employees. Have worked at several J&J businesses and not ever regretted the decision"

"They are wonderful when it comes to diversity and womens rights. They just increased the paid maternal and paternal leave. I have seen first hand people leave for 6 months and come back with no impact to their growth in the compnay."

"J&J is a great place for men and women to work. There is a culture of respect and it’s truly aligned to the company’s credo - both in place for more than 130 years. Everyone hired is given a generous opportunity to succeed. The culture is unprecedented. Employees are encouraged and rewarded for taking care if their own health and volunteering to give back to the community. Their work objectives clearly defined so no need to guess his you’re doing! People are warm and anxious to help each other! The benefits are also unprecedented! There is much opportunity for career growth, tons of training and tons of women in leadership positions. Company is dedicated first to its customers and second to its employees! It’s very uncommon to meet people who haven’t worked there fur ten years or longer! 15, 20, 25 year service anniversaries abound and are celebrated! Lots of people there more than 20 years. I gives thanks each morning to work for my job at J&J. Your Family comes first is part of their culture! "

"Nice maternity leave policy. Very “polite” culture. Collaboration is key to being successful here. "

"Great place for a woman to work at! Flexible hours, family benefits and VALUES, equal opportunities. "

"Not sure some department and bosses are good mine is not very fair or willing to protect his employees"

"Great Company. Great benefits. They really care about their people"

"Networking is Key! As long as you have visibility you are good"

"know some parts of the org are still a bit of "boys club" but many of them are retiring"

"great company for women very high expectations very flexible good pay good benefits"

"It is a great company to work if you are in a right group. Keep learning. Challenge yourself constantly!"

"Great company with good benefits for moms/families. Just extended the maternity leave policy. Support for IVF and adoption. Daycare available at most sites in US."

"J&J is a great place that allows you to create your own destiny, but it does require a very specific personality trait or at least the willingness to adopt that personality trait."

"This is a great place to be. Women raise other women up."

"Create your boundries and be clear about what is important to you. others will respect your choices but they won't make them for you."

"Great company when it comes to worklife balance. Worked there for almost 9 years and throughout all of my roles I always had the flexibility to work from home a couple days a week. "

"8 weeks paid parental leave for all new parents. Mother's giving birth get up to 17 weeks paid but part of that is FMLA so you need to be there for a year."

"J&J had great maternity benefits when I was there, and I've heard they've improved them. They had a great space for pumping breast milk at my location and I was able to pump 3x a day at work without anyone discouraging me from doing so. There was a fitness center and people were encouraged to use it. While there were women in management, there weren't enough of them. Most of my colleagues were great people. I had some very good managers, and some very bad, and I didn't feel the performance review process was transparent or fair."

"I have been working in JNJ for 11 years. I believe women are being treated equally and opportunities for advancements are available. In general, NJN is an absolutely great company to work for, as the JNJ's CREDO is very strong and is is being followed."

"Cross company and functional networking is critical for long term success....Plus, it is imperative that you have specific advocates at 2 levels up both in your current functional area and across the organization."
