Pros

It was a decent company when it was J&J with lots of positives and of course a few disfunctionalities being a massive organisation. How 1 single year can change the DNA of a conglomerate like J&J…

Cons

The change into Kenvue on paper is being raved about with all these values that are at the heart of the company such as Caring Fiercely but in reality it couldn’t be any worse. The culture is toxic and this is not any toxicity you know in another big multinational. This is another level! There is a huge restructuring going on where decisions are based on personal p.o.v and favouring mates than any business reaults or any skills. Worse than that all senior appointments are filled with leaders who have zero leadership skills and they are obsessed with their own next move. Top down relationships are super transactional and the sad part is the seniors don’t even seem to care they are potentially creating lots of HR criseses for the company. The favouritism is beyond belief and they treat people who invested 10+ years in this company like they never existed.

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.
