Pros

It is a strong company run on fundamental principles. I have confidence in the way the company is being run and I am happy with the opportunities provided to me. J&J will continue to be an industry leader because of the sound principles which guide the way it is run.

Cons

It is a huge company and it seems that sometimes there is a disconnect, and it would seem that there would be opportunities to partner with other operating companies within J&J a little more often. But companies within J&J really function as spereate operating companies and this is often times seen as a positive.

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.
