Pros

Benefits seem good, colleagues are respectful of the company and are a pleasure to work with. I was proud of the company as a whole although there are small factions of management that do not work well with employees. If you are with a good division within J&J it is great- you will be happy for life! If your division is devicive, you will feel sorry for every day you come to work!

Cons

Belief in the Credo is a corporate initiative, doesn't trickle down to actual rank & file when you need it. The performance review plan is a joke, you are required to get peer reviews although your immediate supervisor has the last word. I had personal problems with my super- no matter how good my peer reviews were he would override them as well as my raise and/or bonus.

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.
