Pros

The offered good pay and benefits as most any large company. It was rewarding working for a company whose goal was to improve the lives of people. This was the most diverse workforce that I have worked with in my career.

Cons

They are very large and overburdened with red tape, too many procedures to manage a single process, a lot of individuals that base their approvals on their own opinions instead of the requirements in the procedures. There was no HR on site, instead they direct you to access or call a remote group that was not very helpful. The company relies to much on contract workers so that it is hard to recruit and retain good employees. Upper management is focused on acquiring new companies and does a poor job of integrating and developing them.

Pros

High performance expectations, pay, benefits

Cons

401k match below average. This is hypothetically offset by a pension, but for those coming to JnJ late in career, higher 401k would be better.

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.
