Pros

They do pay you with money.

Cons

Let me give you the real real, this place is toxic. It has been a slow decay since we spun off from J&J from a company that was mission based to a company that is essentially a Private Equity. Insurance thru the roof, any decent perk cut off, bonus nuked by unrealistic goals, layoffs, restructures, delusional belief that getting us all to Summit, NJ will fix the culture. The abhorrent leadership truly reflects this ideology that employees are the problem instead of their unrealistic expectations. Higher goals, insane levels of micromanaging, cut budgets and yet they still expect you to hit your qtr. Oh we have values "Put People First", "Care Fiercely", "Solve with Courage", working here you will question your sanity. It is as cutthroat as CPG gets. Our real values: "Make Rich People Richer", "Your Life for Shareholders", "Squeeze Every Penny Out of Them". At least Lumon severs you so you don't remember what happens at work, Kenvue won't even give you that dignity.

Pros

Writing this pains me because my time at Kenvue and previously JNJ was actually quite good. My team was incredible and filled with a lot of dedicated, hard-working colleagues that were ready to collaborate and uphold a system of values and standards. Kenvue itself had great benefits and all and all, I had a wonderful boss, whom is no longer with the company, who allowed me to have a great work-life balance. Unfortunately Kenvue decided those values and knowledge replaceable, and laid off our entire team.

Cons

Kenvue does NOT value employees, point blank. They only value dollar signs and what they can get out of you. They preach work-life balance and owner mindset, and a lot of other corporate garbage but ultimately do not uphold the practices they preach. It's a shame because they let go of a lot of people who actually cared deeply about the products and problem-solving to provide the best care to consumers.
