Pros

It has a great history and great terms of employment, very helpful with your domestic situations and was "THE" place to work for years.Wish they could turn back the years to the best employer in the world.

Cons

they have turned the "Credo" upside down.Loyalty to the employee was number 2 in the Credo but now they only look at the shareholder and profit, The customer comes first" this was the General Johnson philosophy and has been overlooked to cost reductions etc.It is sad that Weldon does not know what is going on below him, Bob always knew what was happening in his family of companies

Pros

It is an environment of smart people, with a relatively relaxed approach to daily grind, freedom to work remotely if needed. Good corporate citizen, offers many volunteering opportunities and truly believes its Credo (mission statement). Good opportunities to learn the specifics of technology and regulatory implications. Opportunity to get used to real "corporate jungle" environment. Is most useful for somebody at the beginning of the career, as a stepping stone since from here you can go anywhere in the medical industry. Decent pay and benefits and the fact that the products help people makes a big difference in the level of motivation.

Cons

Weak strategic thinking, top heavy, disconnect between top management and middle management.

Pros

J & J has a good reputation and it always sounds impressive when you tell someone that you work for them. Family/work life balance is very important to the corporate culture at J & J. There are many times when I had personal issues to attend to and management is generally very flexible and supportive as long as the quality of your work does not diminish. The benefits package is excellent; not only because of the health insurance but you get dollar for dollar 401k match and a stock bonus every year. You also get discounts on any J & J products.

Cons

typical corporate environment; not much freedom to express a differrence of opinion when it comes to company strategies, it actually feels like that is discouraged. They want you to drink the kool-aid and smile.
