Sad evolution of a once great company

Pros

Provides good products in meaningful category; still some really smart talented people there; good concern for patients and quality of products; access to J&J opportunities and benefits;

Cons

Sr mgt not concerned with doing right thing for employees; all about bottom line; lost 90% of its best talent and thinks they can replace with cheaper labor. Haven't launched any real new products in many years and pipeline not really innovative. Pressure from sr mgt now has people just saying what mgt wants to hear and pressuring those of us to work harder and more hours than ever. Not sustainable. New mgt seems to have "favorites" and only listens to those people.

Pros

Fantastic people, smart and dedicated employees at all levels. One if the best sales talents I have seen unfortunately mst are gone to other companies. Used to have the best engineers and marketers of the industry that allowed them market lead and expansion through best in class technologies and breakthrough innovations in all 3 business units they had. Sadly none of these are there, although current BWI management is trying to correct path that had been screwed up by multiple previous management personnel. It used to be the company of no consequences, think about the acquisition of Conor for almost $2BN that announced inferiority of data 3 weeks after purchase, complete avoidance and mismanagement of the endovascular business and portfolio, the Cypher fiasco and then exit of DES. Sad to see this nice market leading company loosing share, faith, respect and people.... Hope the new management will get it right!

Cons

Used to have meetings after meetings and decisions were always delayed. Every decision took"2 weeks" and then postponed for another 2 weeks and promised to get it in another 2 weeks... Horrible management with limited or no med device background, a lot of overhead and politics

Pros

Broad range of experience and exposure to the JNJ Enterprise Work Life Balance Get involved in a broad range of business challenges Diversity of people and ideas

Cons

Upward career mobility seems to be based on knowing the right senior level managers and NOT on knowledge or performance. Definetly who you know not what you know to get a head. Resources are limited and there seems to be a lack of focus and moving of the goalposts
