Pros

Wonderful leadership, great colleagues and financial stability/benefits of J&J. This is the best Regulatory team that I have been a part of!

Cons

Things have become a little slower since the J&J acquisition. However, I'd expect that and can't complain too much about it. I have had similar experience at other big med tech corporations such as Abbott, Medtronic etc.
