At Johnson & Johnson, a mission-driven culture is ingrained in the company's history -- its credo, written in 1943, stresses the importance of putting doctors and patients first. Today, J&J is a great option if you want "purpose behind your paycheck," says Sjoerd Gehring, VP of Talent Acquisition.
The company is also committed to diversity: it has earned several awards for its inclusivity initiatives and women hold 43% of its management positions.
The best candidates not only meet the basic job qualifications, but demonstrate personal values that align with J&J's corporate values, says Gehring. Recruits should also highlight their potential and ability to learn quickly. --A.M.
