Pros

A company of Johnson and Johnson is a huge pro. It definitely makes decisions based on their Credo. Good benefits as a field employee: company car, unlimited personal usage, always expense gas, pay for internet and phone expenses, work/life balance. Provide good health insurance and decent dental insurance (offer vision as well but not sure how good of coverage)

Cons

They do not have differences in compensation geographically, since it's more expensive to live in certain areas I feel that should be accounted for. Janssen Pharmaceuticals is behind on incorporating up to date technology in training and day to day operations. For example, training calendars are done in a Word document and PTO is calculated in a standard Excel sheet; these types of actions should be web-based. Very limited entry level positions.

Pros

Established name in the industry. Well known range of consumer products. Deep pockets.

Cons

Engendered culture of bureaucratic non-value added processes, final result of which requires constant fixing. Culture of taking 33 steps where only 3 is required with almost fanatical insistence on following broken processes that at the end result in uniformal poor quality. Company is overstaffed 40-50% due to all absurd processes requiring more and more man hours with nothing to show for it at the end but wasted funds. Xenophobic culture towards foreign employees. Terrible quality food services at internal cafeteria (that smell...ugh). Depending on your building you might be exposed to 1950s plumbing and shabby offices.
