Johnson & Johnson

J&J came on campus last Thursday to give a presentation and to recruit the students for both internship and full-time positions. It was full house at the Cohen Theatre, with a few of us having to stand throughout the session. The group that came were mainly from the Healthcare divisions of J&J, namely, Pharmeceutical and Medical Devices & Diagnostics.

The presenters talked about how meaningful it is to save lives while working. They shared several stories about how patients were saved around the world with the devices they developed in J&J. Some of the stories were really touching and inspiring.

J&J is hiring all over the world in positions such as Product Manager, Finance Manager, Marketing Manager, and so on. It was a pretty good presentation from one of the FORTUNE 500 companies in the world. However, they spent a long time selling the name J&J. I thought it was not really necessary to sell the brand as the crowd was already attracted to the talk by the name Johnson & Johnson.
