Pros

1. Can work from home occassionally, pending who your manager is (as some are more restrictive than others) 2. Every other Friday off (during June, July and August only) 3. Pension

Cons

1. Below-standard office facilities and culture 2. Executive management does not care for employees, treating them as numbers and tools and trying to overwork them for business growth. 3. Rushed, no planning, and fire-fighting culture with middle management constantly in a panic mode and a "just do something - anything" attitude when there is an issue to keep their jobs. 4. In just 6-7 years this place has gone from a slightly above average work environment to one that is well below average with many people who were fed up and left. 5. While business is growing significantly every year, people are getting treated worse and worse with more and more niceties (such as summer amusement park party and Christmas party) stripped away piece by piece every year. 6. Trying to hire more and more inexperienced people or people from Mexico and give them lowball job offers to reduce costs. 7. Promotion is based on popularity and favoritism instead of skills and experience. There is no standard for job promotions. 8. Executives are lot more concerned with their bonuses than people

Pros

Good products ...I guess Advanced Biotech

Cons

OMG this place is the worst experience I have in a 30 year career and I have been an Army Officer (in a War), worked on Wall Street, Hollywood and Third World Countries The people I worked with (if you could call it that) were the most mean spirited bullies I have ever experienced. After one meeting (I am not kidding) they went to my boss’s boss and "we don’t want to work with him" ....I had been there a matter of weeks Now if I done that in any job in my career I would have been fired on the spot (or sooner). Not being able to work with those 2 girls prevented me for doing my job. My management in IT did nothing just ignored it.....I begged to have HR deal with this... they wouldn’t, Then they brought me in and said, I kid you not "you are not much value if you can’t work with these 2 girls"! No HR involvement for 3 months...in the interim I was selected for a "SPECIAL CREDO" results private ... survey... JnP employees according to the mantra ... are supposed to live and die by this 100 year old document ...kind of like the company constitution. ...right I explained on survey that I thought JnJ was great company and great products and public opinion, but the CREDO must be for someone else certainly not me. I said it does not apply to a 60 year, old disabled veteran ....they must have excluded that section This is ironic since the CEO . is a former Army Officer like myself and I know this company has massive contracts with the Veterans Admin Hospitals and JnJ has gigantic contracts with the military I sent a copy to HR so they would have a heads-up because I thought this "CREDO" survey response would elicit a reaction......NOTHING ...not a word. HR talked to me once finally then a day or two later they brought me in and fired me for being "Threatening..." I asked how so? I had had no contact with anybody... I can’t make this up it was like in the McCarty hearings they said "we have evidence of threating behavior" here in our briefcase I asked to see it and just like good ole Joe McCarthy they refused Complete insanity ...Good part ...It made me become a Veteran's advocate to call attention to this type behavior and call attention to companies that make millions of us Disabled Vets and then treat them poorly

Pros

Standard issue company car, phone, health benefits, pension. The product pipeline is good. The marketing department is clinically driven. Coworkers in the field are highly competent.

Cons

Leadership is all about the money, not about the people. Unfair performance review criteria that favors larger, more resource-heavy regions. Now they expect us to be selling Xarelto as well. Again, everything is about the bottom line.
