On the outside, looking in J&J has wonderful morals and a great mission to stand by. After attending some seminars on their company I was excited to potentially work for J&J so I worked diligently to get my foot in the door and speak with recruiters quite often. I prepared my materials in a portfolio and waited to hear back. I finally got an invitation to part-take in an interview with two division managers at a location 4+ hours away from my residence (never reimbursed for the 1 hour interview they gave me). They were both late by a half an hour and caused me to sit in rush hour for 2 additional hours as a result. The interview was very traditional with your standard behavioral questions read off a script. I was well prepared and even complimented by the hiring managers for my materials, my examples I provided, and my close. I asked pointed questions that the managers said were" Over their heads" I was referring to basic information I found in articles they could have read off their website if they spent 5 minutes reading what their company actually does. They honestly didn't care about anything mentioned in the Credo and even mocked it when I referred to it being my most interested aspect of J&J. This experience left me with such a disguised taste in my mouth I was pleased to know they didn't want to move forward with me.
