The Politics and Backstabbing Will Kill You - Procurement Specialist Janssen Research & Development Employee Review

Pros

Good pay and benefits (good - not outstanding); pension for some; work from home allowed for some (not just COVID)

Cons

This used to be a great company. No more - it's a pit of vipers. The shadiness, backstabbing, down and dirty political maneuvering will absolutely kill any enthusiasm you have for your job in no time. They are going to make you want to cry every day. Unless you are truly a political animal, and absolutely love the endless parrying, just find a role elsewhere. Also, as other reviewers have said, the established employees actively try to drum out the newer employees, so you always have to be on your toes, looking for threats from all directions, and be prepared to defend yourself whenever you open your mouth to say anything to anyone. People will escalate you to your boss for stuff you did not do (they make it up, because there are no repercussions for them at all) behind your back, while to your face seeming to empathize with you. If it wasn't your boss's idea and your boss cannot co-opt it as his own, you're going to be in hot water. The CREDO is just lip service, especially for the "CREDO Champions."

Pros

Do not work for contract jobs in this organization, if you get the full time position in other places, there is no guarantee that you will get hired for permanent full time position even if you have required credentials and qualifications. Someone should sue this organization for hiring contract employees, shame on the awful management of this company, being such a large multi billion dollar organization, and still hiring suitable candidates for contract jobs to save on taxes and medical expenses. If you get hired as a regular employee in less than 4-6 months then stay there otherwise just get the opportunity in any other pharma company or elsewhere. If you have B.S.. or M.S. you may get hired but remember to pursue your higher studies in near future as early as you can. You will not be able to grow in your career beyond certain level if you do not have higher qualifications.

Cons

Some hypocrites have got glued to their chairs in this organization for 20 years or more. THere is no guarantee that you will get hired from your contract job, even if you are hard working, honest, credible, qualified, self driven, goal oriented, and with proven track record in scientific research community/field of interest with publications, awards and credentials. Keep searching for full time permanent jobs in all companies do not give up.
