This question is a personality check. Too often new hires enter a job and try to impress by reinventing the wheel before they've learned the ropes. The interviewer is interested in your approach and how it will fit in with their team.

"In the first 90 days of working at Johnson & Johnson, my plan would be to focus on getting fully oriented to the job and acclimated to the culture of the organization. To do this, I would take advantage of any opportunities to shadow colleagues to get to learn their work habits and procedures a bit better. I would also take extra time to have meaningful conversations with colleagues and leaders from different departments I would be working with to learn how I could better serve them in this role. Once I cleared that milestone, I'd develop a 30/60/90 plan."

"With my first goal upon being hired at Johnson & Johnson being hitting the ground running, I would fully expect that I would be working on my own with little supervision by the time I was on the job for three months. I am a quick learner that would come to your team with a great amount of relevant experience and I don't foresee this being an issue at all."

The expectation when onboarding during your first 90 days typically follows this formula: your first 30 days are spent orientating with staff, the job, and management until your training is complete. The following 30 days are spent learning everything you can in the industry from Johnson & Johnson's perspective to meet their standard of success. The last 30 days are spent striving to be fully integrated into the job, the team, and the company.
After your first 90 days, you can bring your experience to the table and see what you can contribute once fully integrated into the culture of their brand.

A common sentence managers grow tired of hearing is, "The way we did it at my last job." This question is not asking what you would contribute to the company if hired. They are asking what you plan to accomplish in the first 90 days. Focus on that. Express a desire to learn from the company and learn their approach to the industry. After answering this question, follow up by asking what a day in this job, working with Johnson & Johnson looks like.
