Pros

By working at Johnson & Johnson and doing your job well you help others live a healthier life whether that is through the products launched, services and education to patients and consumers or the work in the community. Johnson & Johnson is heavily managed by the Credo, a true value system that is employed in a number of decisions. I greatly admire the senior management team (they are personable, reflective, humble and considerate); however they lack building leaders skills and too much is based on subjective ideals, measures and too little (other than financial decisions) are objective.

Cons

Lack of advancement Leadership by consensus (too much)

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.
