"Watch your back. Have a plan B."

What don't you like about working at IBM?

"Up until about 5 years ago. It has been going rapidly downhill since then. Now, it's all about short term profit at any cost. NO long-term vision, profits are made by acquiring other companies, raping the technology, and laying off the employees, shipping the jobs to India and China. My entire work-group was let go immediately after shipping a product (requiring much overtime and personal sacrifice) so that our jobs could be transferred overseas. I was offered the opportunity to move to a new country, although I would no longer be working for IBM US, and would be working at the local pay-scale. It was about the time I ran across the IBM patent to offshore jobs efficiently. This after 21 years of service, 160 patents, nothing but positive reviews, and a skill-set unmatched in the industry. I was able to find employment fairly quickly and I am enjoying my new position, but I still can't help but feel let down by the company I worked so hard for. I would not recommend working for the current iteration of this once-great company, unless it is a quick stop on the way to something better."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"None, they wouldn't listen to me anyway."

Please give us a one liner to describe this review.

"J&J is a great company to work for but the upper management and supervisors at La Jolla need to be laid off and replaced with some new ones."

What do you like about working at Johnson & Johnson?

"J and J is a very stable company. The Pharmaceutical research and the Labs are great compared to Academic labs. It is a nice safe building with high tech equipment. It maintains very good safety and Lab practices."

"Right away ask who their supervisor is going to be. Also request talk to all the people in the company and find out about the supervisor and his style of running the lab."

What don't you like about working at Johnson & Johnson?

"The senior supervisors and management need to be changed. There is a lot of nepotism and in-breeding which results in favoritism and extremely low morale in the work place. They need to bring new people in the labs as well as management to change the work place environment."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Get rid of the people that were brought in 1994 who have done more damage than good. The J and J at La Jolla has contributed absolutely nothing and are in existence since 1982. Does that say something about this site. Bring in some new unbiased people at top levels and lay off the old ones that are enjoying the luxury of doing nothing and living high on the hog with great benefits."
