Pros

There is great work/life balance at this company. It doesn't prove to be very stressful and you have the freedom to come and go as you please as long as you are getting your work done. You get paid quite well to just go in, do your job, and go home. Also, JNJ is a worldwide company and has programs where you can work in another part of the world on a temporary basis.

Cons

You just go in, do your job and go home. There is no innovation, no spunk, and no drive to take risks. This is common in mega-large corporations and it is no different at JNJ. All the great work is done before JNJ buys the company and afterwards it's just a matter of time before it fizzles out. There is such great potential here. The regular employees are great, the lower management and directors are great, but after that they start to become clueless and out of touch in a lot of cases.

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.
