My Day starts with Engineering team to review the concerns with the machines as I mainly work with Maintenance engineering Work stream. In this Organization I had a good experience in Good Documenting practices and Good Manufacturing practices as the Organization deals to manufacture the Medical Devices. I had a good hands on experience to manage the Quality management systems. Being working with maintenance, machine uptime was the prime responsibility lying on our shoulders. 1st Year at Johnson and Johnson was quite interesting as I got the Opportunity to work with Supply Chain Team. I was working with the Production Planning Team to improve the utilization of SAP (Material management module) as it was introduced newly to the Organization.
Management at J&J is really good and they supported us everytime to develop and mold ourselves in to better person rather than being a good employee.
There is no such as hardest job in the Organization. It is just that I want to get out of my comfort Zone and want to explore for new challenges.
The good thing is that there was no volumes pressure being a medical devices company.

Prosgood work culture, excellent team work
Conscomplex structure and corporate environment complexity
Johnson & Johnson is a great company where I am working for more than 10 yrs now.
J&J gives the even opportunity to all the employees to perform, deliver, develop and grow.
Its the only CREDO driven company in the world which talks about taking care of patients, caring of employees, the society and keep stakeholders in the last. The business principle is very unique and supportive.
Talent development is on the top priority of every manager.
I myself acquire technical and Management degrees while working here. Also several specialization in process excellence, quality engineering, safety, quality system were also developed during my career. I thank to J&J and all my managers who provided me all the opportunities for my development.
Hence I grew in this organization from an engineer level to Head of the department which is quite significant.

Hi,
Myself vivek,
That’s an interesting question. before getting into it we should know first two-thing clearly.
Number 1. start a day with Monday morning. (Flow)
I love Mondays, mostly because the day flies by in a flash. on the given day early hours you will find me speaking to the clients, finding out_ proactively, for the week (prior).
Number 2. meeting team members
Meeting with team for half hour to communicate the clients’ needs and organizing the team schedules around the client’s priorities.
I do this on Monday so that the rest of the week is well organized
and we can effectively use our team’s time in exceeding client’s expectations and avoid Friday evening surprises, (week)
updating the status with the client, answering emails and calls from our internal teams. My role involves extensive management responsibilities.

Company has excellent and high professionalism managers and executives.
There seldom was any hardest part of the job and if any the supervisor was always at hand and approachable.
Wonderful work environment, friendly and helpful co-workers. Enjoyed working every day.
ProsPersonal touch, a company that cares, 5 day working, all banks holidays applicable.
very nice work culture and significant way of working
I really like the Johnson and Johnson because of the entire campus around us its you feel you are entering in the green zone area like park and work time is a standard.
I learned the significant way of working and if we say the management they adopt very nice working culture everything is as per the process an everyone is take efforts to follow those standards.
hardest part of the job is to get approval for small things also take time and depends on the number of people at higher position after there approval only you can do the things.
most enjoyable part is sports week and many many indian festivals and conference of the team. and lot of things to enjoy over there.
At Johnson & Johnson, you are in a highly advanced workplace working hard to bring novel solutions of diseases to the patients who are waiting for it.
I learned Stability Studies, New Drug Development at J&J.
Management was excellent with transparent communication about companies ongoing projects and future plans.
My co-workers were very supportive and provided a culture where I can develop myself.
The hardest part of the job was adhering to really strict compliance to the Quality Standards of the Medicines which is worth appreciating.
The most enjoyable part was to working under the Umbrella and Guidance of Our Credo.
The company is very good when it comes to work life balance and they pride themselves on that. They also often have nice perks like a gym in their buildings.
But any criticism in favor of improving operations and maintaining an innovative edge is unwelcome. They don't attract top talent with the ability to push forward and make progress because they are a company designed to keep their market share-- they are not in the business of making any risky moves. And so, they hire cookiecutter employees with cookiecutter mindsets.
For a company that is in the business of health, they contract out their cafeteria services to companies that don't provide very healthy options. All the fat executives drink soda, but when you ask them why they work for the company, they tell you because they value helping people.
Because it is such an incestuous company, no one takes any risks or bothers to act on integrity for fear of upsetting people who they will no doubt see at some point further on in their career. Contractors are expendable, and exist in an almost separate class, making some valuable team members feel undervalued when they are laid off at a moment's notice for budgetary excuses.
Technological infrastructure is always ten steps behind the competition because it is such a big company with so many checks and balances. Alignment is lacking when areas of the company have upgraded systems and others are behind due to budgetary constraints or issues with the timing of implemen
ProsGym in building, excellent work-life balance
ConsLack of good management, outdated technological infrastructure
External Manufacturing Operations Department (McNeil)
Johnson and Johnson (McNeil Consumer Healthcare) was an incredibly educational working experience. As a co-op I was assigned responsibilities that tested my knowledge of the supply chain field and pushed to challenge myself daily . When I had become comfortable with my responsibilities and was observed managing my time efficiently, I was allowed to increase my exposure across multiple business departments to develop cross-functional skills and pursue interests.
The leadership team at Johnson & Johnson, from my direct manager to the director level managers, were incredibly supportive and inspiring. There was no uncomfortability associated with a hierarchal system and I was encouraged to approach the leadership team with questions. I developed an immediate level of respect toward them and how they managed our team and carried out their mission. I appreciate both the level of professionalism and friendless they extended toward me throughout my period of employment.
My co-workers were friendly and patient and I learned a great deal from all of them. By offering to support them in any projects they were currently undertaking, I was able to develop relationships with them and gain a better understanding of other roles in the department. The bonds between co-workers were tight and our departments Credo Team planned volunteer and social events that made it an exciting place to work.
I came away from Johnson & Johnson eager to challenge myself in a full time employment

Senior Financial Analyst | Raritan, NJ | 31 Jan 2017
Horrible Management
The Finance team at Janssen is know for working some crazy hours. Yes, you read it right. Most of the analysts are working more than 70 hours a week. Things just gets worse during month/quarter end closes. Management will never acknowledge your efforts by putting overtime and instead throw more work at your desk.
Management does not have industry experience and technical accounting knowledge to guide team in right direction. As a result managers do not agree with each other where there is impact across other accounting teams.
Managers will put blame on you when your reach out to them for guidance and ask you to work independently.
It is very difficult to even ask for sick time off, managers seem very uncomfortable if your request to take day off to recover. The reason is that managers do not want to be held responsible for any inquiries from other finance teams in your absence. This again ties to them not having technical accounting knowledge in application to manufacturing setting.
Except minimum to zero transitional training when you start new with team, it helps a bit if you are applying internally and have a J&J experience of over 3 years.
ERP systems are not set up correctly and often do not provide the level of detail you may require to analyse any transaction.
I would recommend anyone who is currently employed to stay clear of this firm, those who are currently unemployed can take their chance as they have noting more to lose. But be prepared to get
ProsNone
Cons12hr work day, dirty office spaces, no room for sick time off, extremely poor work life balance, negative competition amongst managers, no resources for training, cafe food is unappetizing, poorly maintained drinking water units, empty talks of worklife balance and J&J Credo - They are not hold true.
Each day coming into work is a different experience. Since the job consists of customer service interaction as well and desk work, there is always something new that comes up. Most of my day is spent on the computer, either creating and editing marketing/programs, answering customer/member emails, reviewing data from previous programs, or entering data. The remainder of the day is spent with the members themselves. I would sometimes teach group exercise classes, person exercise prescriptions, and just build a stronger rapport with the individuals who come in and out of the facility each day. I manage a group of personal trainers so I also deal with payroll, interaction between personal trainer and clientele and promotion and implementation of the personal training program.
I thoroughly enjoy working with my team. Ideas are always bounced off one another and everyone's opinions are valued. Management is very easy to deal with. I am open to new ideas and critiques so conversations that might be hard in other places, are not in mine because of the open relationship I have with my managers.
The hardest part of the job is to focus on desk work. Since I am physically stationed in a fitness center, people come in and out all day. I want to have long conversations with every individual giving them guidance in their wellness goals, but at times, my workload does not allow that to happen.
The most enjoyable part of the job is knowing that I have effected people in a

I started out my career in J&J as an administrative assistant in Sales Training and loved every minute of working with Sales Reps, District Manager, and Regional Managers. I became an SME for their career development program as I was responsible for tracking all requirements and insuring with my management that they had completed all that was necessary to move to the next level within the sales organization. I participated in their training classes and also presented their career development requirements to them in their Basic Training.
Moved on to an Export Coordinator role the last 6 years of my career at J&J. In this role I supported a business which J&J had contracted with Daewoong in Korea. I was responsible for the monthly shipments of raw materials from various vendors for Mylanta Liquid and Mylanta tablets. Also had affiliates that required special manufacturing of liquids and tablets so I worked very closely with our manufacturing plants to put a plan in place to accomodate their needs.
There was a lot of tracking and partnership with Finance to assure that the business remained profitable. Also worked with a freight forwarder in Philadelphia to initate invoicing and shipping of the materials from a special warehouse that was used only for our business.
The enjoyable part of my job was the customer service aspect and getting shipments and formulas matched to this business. A lot of interaction with different departments within J&J, ie, QA, Manufacturing, Gr

Ambiente di lavoro inizialmente molto stimolante e formativo, adesso difficile e statico
In questi 12 anni di lavoro in Johnson ho imparato, oltre alle dinamiche lavorative di una struttura aziendale multinazionale, ad organizzare il mio tempo sulla base della pianificazione dei miei obiettivi.
La mia giornata lavorativa non inizia alla mattina bensì nella pianificazione della settimana/mese precedente in modo da gestire ottimamente il tempo lavorativo; oltre alla preparazione tecnica JJ ha messo a nostra disposizione i migliori trainer per le tecniche di vendita, per la gestione del nostro tempo e per la migliore presentazione in un'aula.
La giornata lavorativa può essere molto differente ma allo stesso tempo uguale: il fine ultimo è la vendita, differenti sono le modalità per raggiungerlo.
Negli ultimi anni però non riesco a relazionarmi con le nuove dinamiche aziendali atte a mettere un freno alla dilagante crisi del settore; ci è stato chiesto di lavorare in sinergia con i nostri colleghi di territorio e questo è un compito che mi è sempre risultato facile, dato che sono assolutamente convinta che per perseguire un comune obiettvo, si debbano sfruttare le capacità individuali.
Di contro, l'azienda sta attuando delle politiche riorganizzative che non giovano al lavoro di squadra e non giovano al business, dal momento che vengono accantonate le skills professionali maturate a favore di un disegno riorganizzativo quanto mai oscuro e contorto.
Quindi se fino a qualche anno fa la parte più difficile del lavoro poteva essere riuscire a trovare una via di dialo
