Pros

Good product portfolio, mainly in the surgery business unit. Competitive salaries. The company invests in talent development.

Cons

Matrix organization makes difficult to make decisions as fast as the market requires and vertical organization in global functions (Supply Chain, Finance, HR, IT) does not allow improving in collaboration and teamwork. So many changes in the company does not allow employees to feel secure in their current positions and they negatively impact work life balance.

Pros

High performance expectations, pay, benefits

Cons

401k match below average. This is hypothetically offset by a pension, but for those coming to JnJ late in career, higher 401k would be better.

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.
