Pros

The salary (for a new graduate I was making well above someone at 25 out of school) The 'name' (I was able to quickly find a new job after I left because I had J&J on my resume)

Cons

The hours (ridiculous hours- was expected to answer emails on weekends and at funky hours of the night) The management (once they decided, and usually quickly, if they like your or not, you are either in for a rough or smooth ride) Very cliquey (This is perpetuated by my point above, you either are a JnJ'er or not and your colleagues will react appropriately) To my 2 points above, if you dont 'fit' expect to literally be set up to either quit or be 'asked' to leave Status Quo (dont question it, especially at ABM level, or you will be seen as not a good 'fit')

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.
