Pros

Work life balance is great! Flexible work hours which enable you to either work from home or in the office. Free gym and classes available to employees as well! There is a sense of working for the greater good when working in this company, and so there is pride when working.

Cons

There can be some internal politics, as it can be tough to work with people outside of your own department. At times you can feel as if you are just one in a cast of thousands.....and so recognition of your achievements can be far and between.

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.
