Pros

This company has very good benefits, health, pension plans and retirement savings with matching company contributions. Marketing and Sales departments probably were the better areas to work for.

Cons

This is a very formal place to work - square company. Not a very open, lively place. There was not much opportunity to move to a different department or job role. There was concern about appearing critical of management. The information technology related jobs had little or no visibilty with upper management. All the focus and appreciation was reserved only for the sales people, since they were directly tied to the revenue.

Pros

more than average vacation days , the pay is ok in comparision to similar functions in other major companies . A lot of freedom to origanise your day to day activities and a good work/life balance . there are bonusses and stock options but usually only for manager and higher levels . . . . . infrastructure ( offices ) are also ok , usually pretty recent material to work with and do your job.

Cons

You're just a number. don't expect any job satisfaction or recognition from mgmt . Technical people are highly underestimated and the company is becoming more and more US centric driven . All decission power is slowly moving toward North . America and the rest of the world just have to follow . Lots of outsourcing going on of cricital IT tasks, probably and empty shell will be left . J&J seems to excel in attracking good skilled people and then leaving them to waste away (no technical carreer paths or recognition, etc ...).
