Like being in a cult!

Account manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Salary was good and rapid career development was offered for those who fitted the mould.

Cons

J&J prides itself on its Credo (essentially a mission statement) and they use it to promote the idea of an ethical organisation that is centred around the employee. However it is totally disregarded by the management on a day to day basis and discussion or creativity is actively discouraged. Anybody questioning the status quo is shown the door. Just as leaders of a personality cult use mind games to control their minions, the J&J senior management would deny departmental meetings ever took place and those who dared to question any unethical action were accused of not following the Credo!

Didn't enjoy it

Account manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Salary and benefits package Genuinely a 'big' company Opportunity to work with market leading brands Opportunities to progress both domestic & international

Cons

Internal politics more important than external customers "executive" style culture e.g having to make the right 'friends' internally Holier-than-thou company values that weren't followed and felt patronising Lack of autonomy in job role - lots of unneccesary approval layers Colleagues mostly graduate 'yes men' in company mould

Mostly about 'fit' rather than quality of work

Assistant brand manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The salary (for a new graduate I was making well above someone at 25 out of school) The 'name' (I was able to quickly find a new job after I left because I had J&J on my resume)

Cons

The hours (ridiculous hours- was expected to answer emails on weekends and at funky hours of the night) The management (once they decided, and usually quickly, if they like your or not, you are either in for a rough or smooth ride) Very cliquey (This is perpetuated by my point above, you either are a JnJ'er or not and your colleagues will react appropriately) To my 2 points above, if you dont 'fit' expect to literally be set up to either quit or be 'asked' to leave Status Quo (dont question it, especially at ABM level, or you will be seen as not a good 'fit')
