What is the best part of working at the company?
J&J is the gold standard in employment and employee satisfaction. My time with J&J was the highlight of my career. I wish I could have stayed longer with J&J. 
Working with great people pushed me to preform at a higher level than I was accustomed to . Dew to the pandemic I had to part ways because of family medical concerns . 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Stress is a constant working at any big corporation. J&J made it easier by providing a modicum of social interactions with my fellow employees. Whether it be participating in a fundraiser for The United Way. Or something as simple as a company fair with activities like a dunk tank. Also the implementation of discussion meetings called a 'Glass Wall' . Problems and grievances are discussed between everyone . Sharing of ideas towards making it easer to preform our work duties.
With what I have mentioned above made it a LESS stressful work day.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Easy going but exact in the duties of the day. Completing paper work accurately. Ensuring that production flow was timely. Following the work rules put down from the training we received. Paying attention to ones work environment by implementing a simple rule . When you see something, say something.
The culture was always focused on the patient first !

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Clock in on time , Meet with the previous shifts operator if possible. Read any notes on our Glass Wall dry erase board. Determine if any are pertinent to you. Check manufacturing logs to see if any scrap was produced and the reason why. Reading carry over notes left by the previous shift at your work space determining what is going on.
Check you company email for any thing posted to you .
Attend the Cells Glass Wall and discus with the supervisor any assignments or changes effecting the work schedule. 
Make sure that workorders and material has been delivered to you work station for the continuation of production.
If all is well then continue with production.

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 position. I learned to understand and respect the value of a task rather than just the process toward completion. Working in such a fast-paced and demanding environment increased the confidence I had in my own understanding of the supply chain field and general skills. I found that I developed my own time-management and organizational standard that helped me operate efficiently and deliver results. 

I highly recommend pursuing a job at Johnson & Johnson to anyone eager to challenge themselves in one of the largest pharma companies in the world.

As a Regulatory Affair Assistant of the Caribbean I was in charge of the recollection of all legal documents to form the DOSSIER. I was in charge of working hand by hand with the Minister of Health of the Caribbean to approve all products and submit the new ones, which compound the Johnson & Johnson Hemisférica company. 
Work with CAPA (Corrective Action Preventive Action), GMP (Good Manufacture Procedures), I had to verify the Art of the products for  approve, products like, AVEENO®, LUBRIDERM®, Benadryl®, Neutrogena®, and all baby Johnson & Johnson Products. I had to send samples of the Active Ingredients to be analyzed by the different laboratories, in addition in charge of sending the right amount of samples required by the island to the Minister of Health for approval.
Keep track of my agenda for the approved products and aware of the expiration dates and the submission of new products. Use computer programs that are specified for the new drugs application process and use ANDAs Global RA Registration Request Form.
Be sure that existing and new products comply with all FDA (Food and Drug Administration) laws and regulations, assures that everything was in good quality for the use, because that kind of products are for humans use. Be aware of the labeling, advertising, active ingredients and the art. Provides guidance to Marketing on new product concepts, claims, and formulations to assure compliance with FDA requirements.
Submits comments on proposed changes to regulatory agencies. Responsible for gathering and submitting regulatory documentation for distribution in new and existing countries. Assures that exported products comply with appropriate international formulation, labeling, advertising and product registration requirements. Make the request and legalization submissions of the CPP’s (Pharmaceutical Certificate). Review the products information for the active and inactive ingredients. Regulatory operations, Dossiers preparations, review protocols and worked with FDA regulations.

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 tortured by managers and peers.

Honestly there are other job opportunities worth seeking. Save yourself from stress levels that are alarmingly harmful to your health and work life balance.

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 positive way each day. Using my knowledge to benefit others, really makes everything all worth it at the end of the day.  Health will always be important no matter what, so sharing this wealth of knowledge with as many people as possible will only make the overall population experience a better way of living.

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, Graphics for labeling, Operations, Purchasing, etc.  I became respected within the organization for the management of this business.
The hardest part of the position was tracking and being at the mercy of ships that made mistakes and also their timing was not always best for my customers.

A typical day in the field working for Johnson & Johnson began with following a pre-planned schedule of which physicians I would call on and what area I would be working with. 

I planned my schedule according to the appointments that I had already set, as well as, what time you were allowed "drop in" according to the doctor's scheduled visiting time for representatives.  I would review my physician's profile and also look at his prescribing habits/data which were provided by Johnson and Johnson on a regular basis.

At the end of the day, I would return home and restock my car with product literature and samples and set up my plan of action for the next day.

I learned how to effectively manage my time and how to be very organized so that I could be as productive as possible when in the field.  I also learned about many different fields of medicine, such as, 
Sales experience in the following medical fields: 
Chronic non-malignant pain, dermatology, wound care, gastroenterology, psychiatry, geriatrics, Alzheimer's disease and dementia. In addition, I learned how to train other sale representative and how to recruit representative.

I loved everything about my job, but the hardest part was to figure out how to get in front of each physician and how to effectively deliver my product message in an efficient manner with direct to face contact.  Doctors are under a lot of pressure and there is a ton of intense competition from other companies.

I enjoyed the benefits, training, traveling, calling on professionals and learning so much about medicine and how it helps and affects the human body and people's quality of life.

I worked here for an internship as a Quality Engineer in Orthopedics. While the people on my team were mostly great, there were definitely some incompetent people at this company (keep in mind I was a student during my time here). It was mostly a good learning experience but by 8 months I was more than done with the place.

I really dislike the structure of this company ie. a lot of people got away with doing nothing and I would have to do their job for them if I wanted it to get done, the people calling all the shots have literally no clue what they're talking about, etc. One huge issue that I had working here was how upper management would ask us (Quality Engineering working on Class 3 medical devices) to cut corners while launching new products because the timelines that they made up in marketing didn't align with how long it actually takes to develop a product.

One thing I did really like about working here is that I was given opportunities to learn things I wouldn't have gotten to at other places. Most of this was because my two supervisors were amazing but it also probably helped that J&J is such a large company they were able to "sneak" me into things--cadaver labs, off-site supplier visits, testing, seminars, tours of other departments, etc.

My managers aside, if you're looking to be a cog in the machine, this is the place for you, otherwise you may want to hold out for something else.

Other Info:
-I would usually get in around 8am and leave 6:30-7pm and the hours (as an intern) were pretty flexible
-The food in the cafeteria was amazing
-Free coffee
-Pay was comparable to everything else I was looking at/qualified for

Worked for the same company for 40 years ( Johnson & Johnson) . This is one of the J&J companies. 
A culture of true team work and respect for each or our co-workers. Extremely regulated by J&J internal Quality Standards  as well as any and all Government Regulators i.e. FDA, DEA, TSA, KY Board of Pharmacy. 
As a Supervisor it was my responsibility to Lead with a purpose. Protect the J&J Trustmark by investing in quality and global trade commerce.
As a Supervisor it was my responsibility to continuously look for collaborative and creative ways to improve our Distribution Processes. 
Typical day at work is to clearly communicate to the Distribution Teams the priorities and expectations for the day. Address any constraints and try to minimize downtime as much as possible within my control. 
Drive flexibility into our processes and People. When challenging orders arrive we assemble the best and brightest people and follow through in completion of the Order. 
Orders for our Distribution center were made up of Life saving or life enhancing Drug Products. 
I learned that our co workers are truly focused when given a clear sense of direction. 
Hardest part of the job for me trying to be creative when working on orders- in a heavily regulated Pharma Industry - we must remain compliant and follow procedures- the procedures are in place to bring the highest quality medicine to our patients in a safe manner. 
I love meeting and working with new people or new hires- I love training and mentoring and experiencing their own development as they gain experience.
