      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Company really cares about the users of its products--great reputation. Very high caliber of employees and best practices.

      Cons

      Very political environment when it comes to advancement--very politically correct. Ther tends to be a strong mentor system, which is great if you're in the fast track mentor system but not so great if you aren't. Even strong performers who aren't "attached" to someone to pull them up with them won't advance as quickly as those who are. Net result is that J&J often loses some very talented people and some not so talented people stay in senior positions when they aren't best for the job.

      Centrailization's impact on local decision making?

      Pros

      Diversity of business and opportunities to move around and grow. Pockets of the old wonderful company exist, but things are changing at an incredible pace. I suspect that is the case at many places and J&J is simply following a larger overall trend. I'm not saying that J&J is not a good place to work, but comparatively speaking it's not the same place it was even 5 years ago.

      Cons

      Massive outsourcing far beyond what is practical, particularly IT, HR and Finance. IT decision making is largely limited to the CIO and her leadership team as opposed to a more decentralized model where local VPs had the ability to make the best decisions for the business they supported.
