Pros

Training is good, especially for new joiners. Free Gym

Cons

After some time, you will realize that "Home life balance" and "Flexible schedule" is a joke. If you so much as try and take days off when you need, or schedule hours off you will get some bad looks from management quickly, and coworkers who have been there for 5-10 years already that have been jaded by the terrible attitudes of the office. As it is a service center, they expect to pay you extremely low Czech wages, not even near US or Swiss office salaries. Somehow the jaded workers at J&J think the current salaries are amazing. Trust me, they are terrible. With rising rents in the city and prices of food and or leisure activities rising, for the amount of stress and work you have to do for the company is not properly compensated for. Advice would be to get experience, get it on your CV and go somewhere else that has some realistic salaries and a realistic workload to actually enjoy life. Prague has extremely low unemployment rates. Do not be afraid! That 2-3% raise yearly? Roughly (900) Czech more. Nothing to get excited about. Also - No Christmas 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.
