Pros

The best reason to work for J&J is that is it s solid company to work for because of their products in the health arena. They do care about the people that they make their products for as well as provide money and supplies to areas around the world affected by natural disasters.

Cons

No room for upward growth. management is very top heavy. They lay people off and rarely do you see management laid off. There are many managers with nobody reporting to them at all. Why are they a Manager? IT is difficult to grow your career here if you are not in management. It is always amazing how the managers can easily manage to find growth at J&J yet the non management employees get a song and a dance when asked why they do not have the same opportunities available to them. The credo results conducted for 2008 was the worst results ever recorded and Management still doesn't get it why the employees are unhappy.

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.
