Pros

The environment fosters an collaboration and success. All of my colleagues are satisfied with what they do, knowing that they are serving a positive purpose, helping others. My bosses are very friendly, and candid in giving us feedback. There is a sense of fairness in the workplace, and I never have had a major issue. Hours are very flexible, and work/life balance is among the best. Recently, Johnson and Johnson was ranked #1 by Diversity Incorporated. This is a testament to the improvement that Johnson and Johnson aspires to establish year after year. This is a wonderful place to work.

Cons

There is a very conservative mindset in the workplace. It is a very open environment; however, there is also nuances to this. In addition, there are times where work can consume. Feedback results are fair; however, sometimes, waiting to hear the justification for the results can take some time. These issues aren't Johnson and Johnson's fault; rather, they are dependent on ones boss. Although working here is competitive, which can be a downside, it only improves the company and the individual as a whole. There are not many gripes that I can state for people working at Johnson and Johnson.

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.
