Pros

Strong compensation, a conceptually flexible work environment, and a portfolio of good brands

Cons

Leadership is highly discriminatory toward certain nationalities in some regions, regardless of who is actually delivering the work and results. Restructures seem designed to protect politically connected individuals rather than employees who consistently meet objectives and carry the business operationally. Performance, numbers, and measurable contribution appear secondary to alliances and internal politics. The company has become an absolute mess strategically, with questionable decisions and rollouts that seem driven more by favoritism than sound business judgment. Employees are treated as expendable unless they are politically protected. The CEO ultimately cashed out, sold the company, dismissed large numbers of capable employees without any visible merit-based assessment, and then effectively disappeared he's no where to be found. The culture reflects that leadership failure from top to bottom.

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.
