Pros

Good solid company with fair middle management, and the senior leadership is changing to include more competence

Cons

Constant change and downsizing. worrying if you will have a job next month. However when they do lay people off the severence package is more then fair. Last round was 60 days as an employee and 2 weeks per year of service with a minimum of 8 weeks. basically everyone affected recieved 4 months salary and benefits including medical and dental and a 3rd party consultant to help coach you thru the new job search.

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.
