Pros

Was a good company when I first started and the experience is differentiated based on who your direct manager and team are. Benefits were decent, most people are nice, and lots of smart people to work with.

Cons

New CEO and senior leadership are out of touch - demanding longer work hours, unwilling to adjust pay to fair market conditions, and reducing bonus while they sit in their ivory tower with millions of dollars in bonus after quietly laying off large portions of the workforce. The last soul of what J&J used to be died when our CMO left and with him, many executives have left as well. Paraphrasing from a townhall, executive leadership accuses employees are working longer hours because they are working from home and are not as productive. Advancement is based off of who you know and the color of your skin even though J&J tries to create optics that they care about DEI. Employees are criminally underpaid and they pride themselves in squishing levels. This is an empty shell of a company and no longer is a good place to work.

Pros

Salaries are at or above market salaries; opportunity for internal growth and learning via movement from one business unit to another; bonus structure good (but not nearly as good as it used to be); opportunity to work with very smart people globally.

Cons

Difficult to get things done due to size of company and bureauracratic polices and structures; emphasis on standardization has caused productivity and morale decreases, while weakening the company's performance; the company used to pride much of its success on its decentralized nature and the empowerment of its business units; age discrimination is wide spread; little work life balance.

Pros

Overall stable jobs, large company means lots of opportunities for lateral moves within Finance, overall strong Executive leadership. Work is extremely easy…people love to lie and say how busy they are, when in reality they are just shuffling papers and putting together basic decks or analytics around budgets

Cons

Extremely racist Finance group. If you are not white, don’t even bother wasting your time accepting a role at this company. They will not promote you no matter how hard you work. Leadership in Finance had to make a pledge to increase US diversity in Finance management by 35%…which when you think this is a Global 500 company in 2021, East Coast based with access to diverse talent…makes you wonder why they had to make such a pledge this year. They like people who are carbon copies of eachother personality and leadership wise and if you don’t fit that mold or bring different viewpoints, you will not be given any support
