Pros

- great culture, fantastic team! - loved the coop events as well as team events great way to bond with the team and coop class - everyone was very open and supportive of meeting with me 1:1 to give me insight and advice on their career and mine - it's a lot of work but once you get the hang of it it's a great learning experience: stressful at times - 50% off at the company store! Great perk

Cons

- my work was 80% reporting (sap) 20% project [maybe it was just me but I don't think so] - did not really like the concept of being graded on a number scale at the final review of my time: your work and effort gets a number but then your work gets compared to the others in your class and your number subsequently changes - if you get a manager/supervisor who isn't really present during your time there you don't have as much support and guidance as you need so in a sense you really swim or drown on your own

Pros

There is a good work life balance.

Cons

- bureaucracy, everything take longer than needs to - culture is "J&J nice," precludes discussing difficult problems blocking progress - hostile to people with autism or others with neurodivergence - diversity is poor, if you are black you very likely not feel "seen" - higher penalties for women being assertive than men - will engage in constructive discharge to get rid of people perceived as difficult to work with - The ratings for employees are on a curve, if you are in a strong team, higher ratings are hard won, not everyone can be exceptional, even if they meet the J&J definition of exceptional. - Feedback is vague, not specific, actionable or helpful. Some manager are good coaches, but they are exceptions. - If you get a moderate rating you are in danger of being laid off. - In the Bay Area, pay is not competitive. HR has data saying otherwise, but I assure you, it is incorrect. Odds are, you will take a pay cut to join.
