Pros

Opportunity to do meaningful & rewarding work within J&J's Global Strategic Marketing group. Within 6 months, I was given the chance to create global strategy presentations for VPs, and was rewarded with significant stock options and a J&J Achievement Award. Within 18 months, I was invited by the CEO to present ideas on how to make J&J more competitive to Company Group Chairmen/Company Presidents

Cons

Management encourages you to move on to a new position every 2 years, so you often have to give up your dream job for a required career step, such as District Manager (in the pharmaceutical sector).

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.
