Pros

Good pay, great time off, but will make you work 12 hour days.

Cons

Terrible Territory Managers and no help from HR. Asked for 6 months maternity leave because the company really pushes the fact that they will give you a year and hold your job. Manager argued with me about asking for 6 months. He was very much a bully. Tried to talk to HR - NO HELP! They gave me 6 months and one year from day I returned they laid off 8 women that year that came back from maternity leave.

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.
