Pros

more than average vacation days , the pay is ok in comparision to similar functions in other major companies . A lot of freedom to origanise your day to day activities and a good work/life balance . there are bonusses and stock options but usually only for manager and higher levels . . . . . infrastructure ( offices ) are also ok , usually pretty recent material to work with and do your job.

Cons

You're just a number. don't expect any job satisfaction or recognition from mgmt . Technical people are highly underestimated and the company is becoming more and more US centric driven . All decission power is slowly moving toward North . America and the rest of the world just have to follow . Lots of outsourcing going on of cricital IT tasks, probably and empty shell will be left . J&J seems to excel in attracking good skilled people and then leaving them to waste away (no technical carreer paths or recognition, etc ...).

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.
