Pros

Huge diverse company. You can move around a lot within one company/sector, or explore other sectors around the world. They will help you fulfill your career dreams, whether that means staying on a technical track, management track, or moving around to different functions. There are so many resources out there...big company resources with a small company feel. Since it's decentralized there is some freedom for how each company is run. Also, the credo is really a part of our daily lives, and people take it seriously. It is easy to feel proud working for a company like J&J, since the products make a difference in many people's lives.

Cons

Due to decentralization, sometimes there isn't enough communication between departments/sectors/companies, so there is an opportunity for more levaraging.

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.
