Pros

401K, Pension, Healthcare Benefits, Standards, Clear Goals and Objectives

Cons

JNJ is interested driving down cost to improve profitability therefore production operations at this site were outsourced to a CMO or sold off to JABIL. Dedicated employees and their families were adversely impacted by the decision. People lost jobs, frozen or put on "duration roles" where employee would essentially become contractors where employment would cease with the company in 12 months. As a result employees were no longer eligible to participate in career growth programs to transfer to other sites within JNJ to progress their careers.

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.
