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

Work life balance, great high functioning local teams, small territories, company cars, pension, great technology that constantly evolves.

Cons

Marketing and senior leadership is completely out of touch with the field. 20 years of industry dominance squandered by failing to adapt to new technology, basically overnight. All of this could have been avoided buying a specific company or devoting time to building PFA tech before the other companies. It can be extremely difficult to move into a sales role as a clinical, especially on the ultrasound side. Almost all companies have a path from clinical to sales, except for BWI/ j an j MedTech. Promotion pathways and role leveling has changed 4 times in the 6 years I’ve been here and not once has it had any positive effect. Extremely difficult to understand commission pay structures that always seem to eat away at what you should be taking home. What was once the best pension ever has been removed in favor of a lump sum payout. Pay is less than other similar companies and you are made to feel you can’t leave because of pension and benefits.
