      Pros

      Benefits used to be good, brand recognition on resume

      Cons

      Management is terrible. CEO talks a big game on D&I but everything breaks down at management level. Middle management sucks! They had so many reorgs they are running on bare bones with both people and dollar resources. They have affinity bias to hire and advance those that look like them. Senior leadership is too busy to manage their middle management. HR only worries about saving company from lawsuits. Employees of color have no support or advancement opportunities. Company tried to listen to its black and brown employees recently but failed to take any action because they are afraid of reverse racism and lawsuits. I wont encourage anyone to join J&J at this time.

      Pros

      Jnj acquires a lot of innovative companies

      Cons

      Terrible pay for Bay Area. No incentives for individual competitors. Health benefits are really expensive. 401K match doesn't vest for 3 years. Not a good place for software engineers specially in the Bay.

      Terrible leadership, some decent engineers

      Project manager

      Pros

      Name brand - everyone knows J&J. Benefits are ok (not great), compensation is good if you are willing to stay 5+ years to get that pension, Gorsky knows how to milk the press for all that it is worth (just look at the COVID vaccine stuff)

      Cons

      Where do I begin? J&J has a terrible company culture. Mediocrity and incompetence are rewarded. Leadership promotes based on who they like, zero evaluation of employee's skills. Lots of paper pushers because talented people are "threats" to the middle management who are extremely lazy. HR protects managers and directors while using buzzwords to make it sound like they are inclusive and care about talent. Most talented engineers leave early career if they can - once you reach a certain mid career "level", it is hard to leave and so you are basically stuck. J&J's acquisitions are a joke - they essentially botch every one of them by gutting the acquired company and bringing in their less talented and less competent management.
