Pros

Work from home policy 2-3 days a week

Cons

1. Turnover rate is insane. Numerous Directors leaving every week, positions left empty for months and months and workload trickles down continuously. 2. Leadership have no technical skills and knowledge. All talk and no work. Lack direction, lack decision making ability, lack of knowledge in science. 3. People are extremely self centred and competition is high 4. No work life balance 5. Wants to give the impression of a science driven brand but the truth is that the science is barely there, scientists are not provided proper training 6. Zero technical onboarding, you are expected to learn everything on the job by yourself 7. Intense budget cuts happening now, please run as far as you can

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.
