Pros

J&J operates more or less according to their code of ethics, the Credo. Many companies have something like this, but J&J is probably of the few that invokes it on a day in day out basis for making business decisions. That is not to say that it is at times forgotten or even skewed to benefit a select few individuals, but that is only select cases. J&J is excellent at communicating to their employees, personal development, and the management has an open door policy and is very willing to share about their careers and career development with you. There are also potentially limitless opportunities given the sheer size and global presence in J&J and you are definitely encouraged to move around within the company.

Cons

It is limited by traditional, old school corporate thinking in terms of taboos like salary info sharing and lack of new school benefits that some of the smaller healthcare companies may have.

Pros

Great reputation (externally). However, internally one has to wonder whether the J&J credo is truly being valued and followed.

Cons

Lack of advancement, lack of competitive salary

Pros

The size, global locations and diversity of positions allows for movement within the company w/o loss of benefits, salary or accumulated time. There are >160 companies & 1,000 different sites around the world. You can make a comfortable living and if you don't do anything wrong can gradually move up in management or technical ladders. If you are not appriciated you can move somewhere else.

Cons

Very political. Certain people are targeted as "Golden" and are given all the chances. The rest have to settle for gradual advancement and secondary positions. However, just like the weather in NJ, "If you don't like it, don't worry it will change soon", and management changes over quickly. Once the Group Company Vice Chairman leaves, then every body below is reshuffled and a new regime takes over. This happens about every 2 to 3 yrs.
