Business Outlook

Pros

J&J is a good work and family company to work for. On the other side, this once was a good company to have as an employer. At the present their pharmaceutical pipeline is anemic, their stock has gone nowhere since Bill Weldon has been CEO. It seems like some of the board members sit on multiple corporate boards and contracts are awarded to those other companies.

Cons

Total disrespect for their Credo. Treat their employees as dispensable resources. Lack of ability to take the company forward at the CEO level.

Business Outlook

Pros

J&J is a big name that offers CV fluff. It is looked upon favorably for future employment endeavors.

Cons

1) Benefits are continually cut 2) Salary is on the low end versus industry average (bonuses are even lower) 3) No stock or stock options are granted unless you're a "golden boy" 4) Senior management is very indecisive 5) The company is unstable with perceived job security as being very, very low
