    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • I have thoroughly enjoyed my year with J&J and I am sad to be leaving. I have learnt an immense amount during my year not only in regard to financial analysis but also, through the vibrant team dynamic, my confidence has built massively. The opportunities to grow are endless and the development of new talent is one of J&J’s top priorities. I couldn’t recommend this placement enough! No prior knowledge is needed you are starting from the ground up.

  • 5/5

  • How would you rate the support and guidance from the wider team?

    Culture

  • 5. What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
  • The culture was incredible. Being in a virtual team, initially, I didn’t think we would have much of a fun team dynamic however I couldn’t have been more wrong. I was part of our Regional Office Fun Team and organised multiple events online to boost the morale of the team which was so much fun and such a great opportunity. J&J lives by their Credo religiously every single day.

  • 8. What advice would you give to others applying to Johnson & Johnson
  • After the digital interview they didn’t get back to us until February so don’t lose hope! Confidence is key, back yourself and you’ll be fine! As they don’t expect prior knowledge they’re judging you on your attitude and personality so just be yourself.
