Pros

Work/life, influence in conversations with customers & development process

Cons

sometimes the development process doesn't seem to move in a direction of actual results for top performers. Cross-functional rotation is becoming more & more difficult as the company tightens its belt with the economy. Lately, it seems that they have been focused much more significantly on their stockholders vs. the people. While the economy is a very challenging time the climate seems to be much more grave internally than necessary. Hopefully, J&J will loosen the reigns a bit as the economy recovers.

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.
