Pros

The wide reaches of the company provides potential opportunity to advance careers. The name J&J still appears as respectable in the community-with exception of employees. They offer modest financial incentives as compared to the industry standards. The company as a whole is fairly stable but that does not apply to various divisions.

Cons

Unstable market and the market dynamic changing for the worst, if business demands the headcount to be reduced-so be it. They no longer work to find "displaced" individuals jobs within the network of companies. Many of the divisions no longer value employees. Contrary to company self-promotion, questionable ethics for self preservation run strong in J&J during this time of economic crisis.

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.
