Pros

Large reputable company with lots of stability and divisions (pharmaceutical, medical device, and consumer)

Cons

I personally found this particular division of J&J to be the most stressful & toxic of all the pharmaceutical companies I have worked for so far. I worked in 2 different divisions of Janssen and unfortunately found this culture to be consistent across both divisions. For example, they are far too focused on meaningless metrics that are easy to manipulate, among other things. Perhaps other divisions are better, but I can only speak for two I worked in. If given the opportunity, I would never consider going back.

Great people but very boys club and all about looks, how you present or who you are buddies with. Stakeholders who do not lift the mirror up to see what is wrong in themselves

Cons

Favoritisme, prejudice racist remarks. Need to focus on diverse inclusive environment
