When I join J&J, will I join a particular division or the company?
Johnson & Johnson India is an umbrella company with 5 main operating divisions and 4 Service divisions comprising Finance, Information Management, Human Resources, Administration and Legal. These Divisions are -

· Consumer Products India
· Medical Division
· Pharmaceuticals Division (Janssen -Cilag)
· Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics
· Vision Care

The 5 divisions are in the business of healthcare and are like mini companies by themselves. Though in the business of healthcare, they differ in their business strategies and approaches to business.
The profile of the people required by each of these business divisions differ as well and the recruitment is therefore specific to Divisions. A new recruit will thus join a particular division within Johnson & Johnson India.
