Pros

J&J is a great company. It has always been conservative in approach, resulting in being cash rich. This allows J&J to weather the current down economy. It has Credo values that are very meaningful ifactually utilized. It also gives you an experience in being in a very large company.

Cons

There is a large company mentality despite the independent operating companies. You realize that you are just a number & you are dispensable. Credo values are touted but not often followed by management. There is constant chatter about work life balance but depending on the operating company you are at, there is basically no balance. It is work all the time.

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.
