Pros

Compensation, benefits, work to life balance. Compared to other pharmaceutical companies aroung, J&J seems like a safer place to work. The lay-off percentage is more sparing than others, the diversification of the business looks smarter than the approach than other companies take. In most cases, you are the master of your schedule and you can balance your work and life projects accordingly. Compensation package is more generous than for smaller companies around, and benefits are good but deductibles grews a lot in the last few years.

Cons

Weak leadership, long processing time for everything new, lack of understanding of the value of science, more input on sales and marketing.

Pros

The colleagues I worked with were great, friendly, helpful. Because the colleagues were great, I'd love to work there full-time, but this was a short contract.

Cons

The supervisor I was ultimately working for had never worked in digital-related products, in which I had decades of experience. He seemed to be unaware of what every colleague would be telling me (I was interviewing colleagues using a software the manager was intending to propose use for firm-wide). Both the colleagues I interviewed, and the internal technical staff I was speaking with knew the project would not function as he seemed intent on ... forcing(?) it do so. I gave him the resulting report of its users' feedback, and I was finished with my contract. He had gone through 2 other women in this same role, already. And he hired a male after me who delivered esentially the same results. Because I wasn't there, I have no idea of the dream outcome this manager attained, or switched to, later.
