/ 100
Johnson & Johnson offers multiple real entry points for students and new graduates, including internships, co-ops, and several rotational leadership tracks across business and operations. The hiring process is well-documented at a high level and includes fair-hiring language, but candidate experiences still include reports of slow follow-up and occasional ghosting in some pipelines. Pay transparency is better than many large employers in the U.S. (including intern pay ranges), while outcomes look positive overall but are hard to verify consistently because conversion and promotion metrics are not published.
