Pros

Benefits used to be good, brand recognition on resume

Cons

Management is terrible. CEO talks a big game on D&I but everything breaks down at management level. Middle management sucks! They had so many reorgs they are running on bare bones with both people and dollar resources. They have affinity bias to hire and advance those that look like them. Senior leadership is too busy to manage their middle management. HR only worries about saving company from lawsuits. Employees of color have no support or advancement opportunities. Company tried to listen to its black and brown employees recently but failed to take any action because they are afraid of reverse racism and lawsuits. I wont encourage anyone to join J&J at this 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.
