Pros

J & J has a good reputation and it always sounds impressive when you tell someone that you work for them. Family/work life balance is very important to the corporate culture at J & J. There are many times when I had personal issues to attend to and management is generally very flexible and supportive as long as the quality of your work does not diminish. The benefits package is excellent; not only because of the health insurance but you get dollar for dollar 401k match and a stock bonus every year. You also get discounts on any J & J products.

Cons

typical corporate environment; not much freedom to express a differrence of opinion when it comes to company strategies, it actually feels like that is discouraged. They want you to drink the kool-aid and smile.

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.
