Pros

Extremelly diversified company within the health care market, providing chances for exposure to diverse business segments and regions; Focus on customers/patients first through the Credo values; People tend to be very friendly and open.

Cons

It has a complex structure of regional / local positions that can get in the way of some projects / initiatives; Multi-business (franchises) structure is also somewhat complicated to follow if you are in a functional area such as HR, Finance or Supply Chain; Extremelly reduced headcount positions for the Latin American business of the MD&D sector creates unbalance between Credo sayings and the practice for employee / work-life balance; Lack of long-term vision from the Latin American leadership - focus is currently given only to the financial objectives; More politics & behind-the-scene decisions than in the average of other companies- probably driven by lack of proper communication from Senior Management.

Pros

There is a good work life balance.

Cons

- bureaucracy, everything take longer than needs to - culture is "J&J nice," precludes discussing difficult problems blocking progress - hostile to people with autism or others with neurodivergence - diversity is poor, if you are black you very likely not feel "seen" - higher penalties for women being assertive than men - will engage in constructive discharge to get rid of people perceived as difficult to work with - The ratings for employees are on a curve, if you are in a strong team, higher ratings are hard won, not everyone can be exceptional, even if they meet the J&J definition of exceptional. - Feedback is vague, not specific, actionable or helpful. Some manager are good coaches, but they are exceptions. - If you get a moderate rating you are in danger of being laid off. - In the Bay Area, pay is not competitive. HR has data saying otherwise, but I assure you, it is incorrect. Odds are, you will take a pay cut to join.
