Kenvue

I had 3 Kelly KSG recruiters (talent managers) in 4.5 months, and at times it is difficult to get a question answered. They told me to bring my PC to work with me, night before 1st day. They only want to talk about good news and things they know. Kelly  has several separate systems for paystubs, benefits, gryphon, fieldglass and mykelly and this way they found the most difficult and cumbersome way of getting HR things done. I had direct deposit payments delayed by KSG errors and  I doubt if I ever work for them again.
JnJ -Kenvue : they are in the middle of the move, management scattered, so you're are learning things by trial and error.  Takes forever to get necessary access to apps. They are moving to Summit NJ and most employees have no desks assigned, you need to reserve a desk for yourself and have all your stuff, pc, etc all the time with you and you may work from the who knows where.  Makes it harder for newcomers. Training is sketchy, granular and then you re on your own. Not a good place to work compared to others.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great benefits and exceptional work-life balance.  4 weeks paid vacation, 1 week of personal days, 1 week of sick days and 3 floating holidays is exceptional.  Mid-level managers are very supportive and a family culture within my group.  

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The company has became pure chaos in the last 2 years.  After the J&J split there has been no fucus for the company.  Priorities keep shifting and the c-suite is almost non-functional.  Constant lay offs to cut costs and replacing the people with high J&J salaries with unqualified individuals has brought complete chaos to the company.  Additionally benefits have been cut (poorer, more expensive health insurance, no more company store, etc) and a looming uncertainty of being cut for no reason has a but removed people's motivation.   We were already underpaid, but it used to be tolerable before all of this.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Some of the fellow workers and top leadership are outstanding.  

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There is disorganization, poor middle management (people join great companies but leave poor managers), micro-managing, and appalling work-life balance. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It could be brilliant, but middle management choose to make it miserable. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Expect to work a typical 12 hour day.

Kenvue is such an inclusive environment! Every voice is heard, and diversity is constantly praised. Also, it is an unique opportunity to work on a new company that was born with over USD 15 Billion in revenues! The moment is intense, but learning is also unique! My experience was dramatically increased during the last year. 
If you have interest in learning and growing in a fast paced, fun and inclusive environment, come to Kenvue!

What is the best part of working at the company?
There is a good compensation package.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
It differs from what your role, group or department you work in but it can be high pressure low moral. Management is thankless and some groups the culture is downright toxic

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
No sense of teamwork. Managers don’t support their people and often pit them against one another.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Long and stressful. The stress stays with you often even after you clock out.

Toxic leadership senior managers and up. They say they hear their employees and they care... BUT THEY DO NOT.

Teams constantly changing and instead of hiring people, they are  compounding the workload of people they give severance to, to the lucky people who get to stick around. 

I LOVE the brands they make but the ethics have been COMPLETELY out the window since they left JnJ and 1000% worse since that investment firm has been running the company.

My experience at J&J was positive, but the transition to Kenvue left a lot to be desired in terms of organization. Unfortunately, this transition led to a voluntary departure of many senior-level professionals who were instrumental in the operations. Subsequently, there were layoffs in middle management positions, and eventually, the negative impact was felt across the entire organization.

Horrible management. 
Toxic work environment, horrible meeting etiquette. Thankless job.  If you hear from your manager it’s to provide negative feedback, never positive. Zero development. Unrealistic goals and work load. Work life balance is absent in the companies mind. Obsolete equipment. Poor trainings. Zero accountability. 

JNJ cared about its employees based on its credo, kenvue only cares about them on paper. The split off has been managed horribly. 

The site I work at unfortunately has cliques and if you’re not in one of those cliques you might as well leave because you will not advance. 

If you have an HR concern, do not report it because you will have retaliation and gas lighting performed against you. 

Best to avoid this company. 

If you've been here through the J&J split, you've slowly seen a lot of benefits and company culture disappear. Upper management does not value full time employees like they once did. They will only hire freelancers and contractors to fill the gaps, while losing brand equity by laying off long-term employees. They are also farming out a lot of positions to India for cheap labor. You get what you pay for!
