Generally pretty happy - keep in mind with so many operating companies, there are so many different experiences - IT Manager Johnson & Johnson Employee Review

Pros

* Really good benefits * Appreciate work/life balance * Great training * We treat people well. The credo is shoved down our throats to an annoying level, but it really permeates the company culture where everyone is treated with dignity and respect

Cons

* Perhaps as a counterweight to the benefits, the pay is a bit subpar compared to what can be earned elsewhere * Really inconsistent with job titles and promotions. There are a lot of senior managers with no direct reports, who don't have additional work to do but they keep getting promoted since people like them. And then some managers (junior to senior managers) overwhelmed with direct reports * Per the above, it's also inconsistent across different types of jobs (IT vs HR vs sales vs manufacturing, etc.) even in the same operating company. Some groups of employees in certain verticals are flat-out more valued. This may be my ego and bias but I feel IT is more difficult than most soft skills jobs yet we have less potential job growth than many others

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.
