Pros

Work/life balance is great and some managers are very responsive to non-work needs of employees. Career advancement and professional development is well-structured. Friendly co-workers have no problem helping new team members adjust to the job. The new hire program is well-organized. Co-op and interns can potentially be assigned important projects.

Cons

For an engineer coming out of college, the pay is lower than a lot of other industries. The intern and co-op program for the consumer products company is not as structured as other companies. There does not seem to be much collaboration between the 200+ operating companies under the J&J umbrella.

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.
