Pros

J&J has a strong culture of caring and quality. It has an excellent global reputation with strong brands and strong science. Benefits are great, and the people are the strongest asset. I'm constantly impressed by the dedication and creativity of my colleagues. The decentralized structure allows for more room to innovate with the support of a large corporate infrastructure. The Consumer sector is great place to work because the breadth of products is diverse and the opportunities for creativity abound. Regardless of its flaws, I still think it's one of the best companies to work for.

Cons

As with most large organizations, it is difficult to change the traditional way of doing things and bureaucracy can get in the way. It is discouraging when inertia gets in the way of innovation. But, the company is always trying to improve, so there's hope. There are a few incapable people in positions that are higher than they should be, but that's not the norm. Sometimes the leadership is not decisive, which can cause problems when trying to move quickly. There is more work than we have people to do it. Salaries are below median, at least in Consumer R&D.
