Pros

J&J is a good work and family company to work for. On the other side, this once was a good company to have as an employer. At the present their pharmaceutical pipeline is anemic, their stock has gone nowhere since Bill Weldon has been CEO. It seems like some of the board members sit on multiple corporate boards and contracts are awarded to those other companies.

Cons

Total disrespect for their Credo. Treat their employees as dispensable resources. Lack of ability to take the company forward at the CEO level.

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.
