Business Outlook
Pros
Company really cares about the users of its products--great reputation. Very high caliber of employees and best practices.
Cons
Very political environment when it comes to advancement--very politically correct. Ther tends to be a strong mentor system, which is great if you're in the fast track mentor system but not so great if you aren't. Even strong performers who aren't "attached" to someone to pull them up with them won't advance as quickly as those who are. Net result is that J&J often loses some very talented people and some not so talented people stay in senior positions when they aren't best for the job.
