Pros

Conservative, quiet, you'll leave by 5pm every day no matter who you are.

Cons

The famous credo is a thing of the past. Pay raises and bonuses are based on butt kissing. You can cure cancer and if you haven't kissed enough butts you'll never get thanked. Company is misogynistic, racist, anti-Semitic and management is clueless and profoundly stupid. The smartest people are at the bottom, as you move up, vision and action cease.

Great company... terrible high management

Pros

Friendly place, good pay for average in Prague. JNJ is a great company and this is noticeable easily, but the shared service center for finance is a stain to its reputation. The values and structure and culture of the company are really great and I would work again for JnJ. Just not in the FiNance SSC.

Cons

Unprofessional high management, very sexist with an open harassing attitude. High management has little respect for women and behave as owners of JnJ. Promotions are based on interests of management mainly, little recognition and very limited career growth opportunities and developmental opportunities. All seems great from the presentation deck though...

Pros

Pay is strong and opportunities seem to present at younger ages than other medical device companies. I work with many Sr. Director, VP, and even C Suite level team members who are 36-45 years old.

Cons

The unfortunately consequence of being a great company for existing employees (i.e. internal promotions, etc) is that I see quite a few senior team members who are really really bad at their functions and lack strong best practice and industry knowledge. In other businesses there would be leaders who would solve problems more quickly and achieve better results. The business keeps moving, but if you're a person with strong experience and industry knowledge you just scratch your head sometimes and ask yourself, "WTF are they doing?" Then you have to keep quiet because of office politics and just wait for it to hit the fan.
