Pros

Compensation is on par with market, lots of training programs, cross functional team works closely together

Cons

Too many internal meetings, top down approach, zero work life balance, treat employees as dispensable, no qualms in tossing someone out after they are no longer of use. decision making too diplomatic with too many stakeholders. Leadership team puppets to big boss and just carry out orders.

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.
