Pros

1. Good culture - The Credo 2. New HQ with innovation workspace - free seating and work from home 3. Flexible working hours (but depend upon your alignment with your manager) 4. Office gym - free usage throughout the day til 8pm 5. Staff shops with prices cheaper than outside retail 6. Plenty of training opportunities (if your manager approve it) 7. Internal rotations within the company, across functions and departments (if your manager approve it)

Cons

1. Although good culture, but many of the managers are not trained in it, especially those joined from other companies or transferred from other countries with hierarchical business culture. 2. Flexible depend on your manager - so if your manager has a culture that is micro manager, you have to sit nearby your manager or where your manager can see that you are in the office - which defeats the whole idea of the innovation workspace. 3. Plenty of red tape to get things done and politics play at Directors level, which made it pretty tough to get things done 4. Plenty of reports and systems to reconcile 5. It is complex matrix organization that can be overwhelming for newbies 6. HR & IT like not existing since it goes to shared services

Pros

Smart, dedicated, ambitious and talented colleagues. Learning a lot about finance and healthcare. Lots of flexibility if need to work from home.

Cons

Not much on the job training, learn as you go. No HR intro, just kind of figure it out but maybe that’s normal at such a large company - there are resources to help available.

Pros

Training is good, especially for new joiners. Free Gym

Cons

After some time, you will realize that "Home life balance" and "Flexible schedule" is a joke. If you so much as try and take days off when you need, or schedule hours off you will get some bad looks from management quickly, and coworkers who have been there for 5-10 years already that have been jaded by the terrible attitudes of the office. As it is a service center, they expect to pay you extremely low Czech wages, not even near US or Swiss office salaries. Somehow the jaded workers at J&J think the current salaries are amazing. Trust me, they are terrible. With rising rents in the city and prices of food and or leisure activities rising, for the amount of stress and work you have to do for the company is not properly compensated for. Advice would be to get experience, get it on your CV and go somewhere else that has some realistic salaries and a realistic workload to actually enjoy life. Prague has extremely low unemployment rates. Do not be afraid! That 2-3% raise yearly? Roughly (900) Czech more. Nothing to get excited about. Also - No Christmas bonus!!!!!
