Employee testimonials
I was nurtured by various growth opportunities and people to get where I am now.
I graduated from the Faculty of Economics and was thinking of working for a securities company or a bank, but I decided to join Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine because I was attracted to the focus on “growth”. In addition, I had a great feeling that my supervisors supported my career development, and now that I am a manager, I am trying to put that into practice myself.
It's great to be able to use data science to advance medicine and contribute to the health of people around the world.
I decided to join the company because I was attracted to the fact that we have a huge amount of data as one of the world's largest and most diversified healthcare product companies in the world, from pharmaceuticals to medical devices.
I decided to join J&J because of the abundant pharmaceutical discovery pipeline.
After joining the company, I went through rotational training in various departments, and now I am involved in clinical trials to confirm the safety and efficacy of new medicines as a clinical scientist.
