Pros

Other than the salary, the benefits package was attractive. J&J health insurance plan was very good and included dental and eye care for a small fee. The retirement plan 401k was excellent - they matched 75 cents out of 1 dollar that you contributed to a maximum of 6%. It is a diverse workforce and you can learn a lot from your peers.

Cons

J&J has no training program for new employees and out of college students. I started working with J&J as a COOP and I remembering walking and walking cause I had nothing to do. Eventually I looked for work myself and after a couple of month I had more work that I could handle. Everyone recognized my name, as the guy to go for any facilities issues. However I won that myself. There was no training, no guidance and certainly no mentoring. In addition, I always had issues with HR. They always had the incorrect answer to my question. That was the only department in the whole company that I considered incompetent (very ironic). When I quit my job due to another job offer that I had, nothing was done to retain me (but still today they call me to ask me questions) and they even forgot to perform my exit interview! My boss and even the plant manager, asked me a couple of times to rethink my decision, but no counteroffer was presented to me in writing.

Pros

Diversity is huge there so you get to meet many different people. The company is well-respected and you can take pride in knowing the products you make are helping to save the lives of others. The company also particpates in a 360-degree feedback process, so you get more than one person rating you and providing you with ways to improve your work. The company also has numerous facilities both within the U.S. and abroad so there is a lot of flexibilty and freedom to explore many different places. The company will also pay for relocation fees as well. Overall, it's a good place to work.

Cons

As with many company's Johnson & Johnson is extremely political. First impressions really are everything. If you don't get on the good side immediately of all persons met, you are going to have a hard time advancing. The problem is that everyone within the company knows a lot of different people and they all talk; therefore, if you've made a bad impression on one person, other people are going to judge you immediately based on that one person's feedback before they even know you. Johnson & Johnson is very demanding. As soon as one quarter close is over, you're already supposed to have been working on reports for the following quarter. It never feels like you can get ahead.
