Pros

The company provides great benefits and development opportunities. Is a solid company admired by other companies that must maintain their reputation in the industry.

Cons

Job demand. Work and life balance is not a priority for upper management. Talent retention is a downside for the company. For example, the porcentage of employees leaving the company before and after cpmplete LDP programs is extremely high. We can't continue preparing employees for other companies.

Pros

Huge diverse company. You can move around a lot within one company/sector, or explore other sectors around the world. They will help you fulfill your career dreams, whether that means staying on a technical track, management track, or moving around to different functions. There are so many resources out there...big company resources with a small company feel. Since it's decentralized there is some freedom for how each company is run. Also, the credo is really a part of our daily lives, and people take it seriously. It is easy to feel proud working for a company like J&J, since the products make a difference in many people's lives.

Cons

Due to decentralization, sometimes there isn't enough communication between departments/sectors/companies, so there is an opportunity for more levaraging.

Pros

Other than the salary, the benefits package was attractive. J&J health insurance plan was very good and included dental and eye care for a small fee. The retirement plan 401k was excellent - they matched 75 cents out of 1 dollar that you contributed to a maximum of 6%. It is a diverse workforce and you can learn a lot from your peers.

Cons

J&J has no training program for new employees and out of college students. I started working with J&J as a COOP and I remembering walking and walking cause I had nothing to do. Eventually I looked for work myself and after a couple of month I had more work that I could handle. Everyone recognized my name, as the guy to go for any facilities issues. However I won that myself. There was no training, no guidance and certainly no mentoring. In addition, I always had issues with HR. They always had the incorrect answer to my question. That was the only department in the whole company that I considered incompetent (very ironic). When I quit my job due to another job offer that I had, nothing was done to retain me (but still today they call me to ask me questions) and they even forgot to perform my exit interview! My boss and even the plant manager, asked me a couple of times to rethink my decision, but no counteroffer was presented to me in writing.
