Pros

Medical Devices: Diversity in staff, All employees trying to do their best to move massive company forward, but....

Cons

Majority (Big 3) of Medical Devices sales / technology is stuck in the 90's with very low growth for the next 5-10 years. Insular mentality and implementing change a challenge given leadership unwillingness to adjust sales expectations and commit to change. Leadership changes every 2+ years so most initiatives are re-evaluated & many are changed before they even have a chance to gain traction.

Pros

There is a good work life balance.

Cons

- bureaucracy, everything take longer than needs to - culture is "J&J nice," precludes discussing difficult problems blocking progress - hostile to people with autism or others with neurodivergence - diversity is poor, if you are black you very likely not feel "seen" - higher penalties for women being assertive than men - will engage in constructive discharge to get rid of people perceived as difficult to work with - The ratings for employees are on a curve, if you are in a strong team, higher ratings are hard won, not everyone can be exceptional, even if they meet the J&J definition of exceptional. - Feedback is vague, not specific, actionable or helpful. Some manager are good coaches, but they are exceptions. - If you get a moderate rating you are in danger of being laid off. - In the Bay Area, pay is not competitive. HR has data saying otherwise, but I assure you, it is incorrect. Odds are, you will take a pay cut to join.
