Pros
The best reason to work for J&J is that is it s solid company to work for because of their products in the health arena. They do care about the people that they make their products for as well as provide money and supplies to areas around the world affected by natural disasters.
Cons
No room for upward growth. management is very top heavy. They lay people off and rarely do you see management laid off. There are many managers with nobody reporting to them at all. Why are they a Manager? IT is difficult to grow your career here if you are not in management. It is always amazing how the managers can easily manage to find growth at J&J yet the non management employees get a song and a dance when asked why they do not have the same opportunities available to them. The credo results conducted for 2008 was the worst results ever recorded and Management still doesn't get it why the employees are unhappy.
