Pros

- great culture, fantastic team! - loved the coop events as well as team events great way to bond with the team and coop class - everyone was very open and supportive of meeting with me 1:1 to give me insight and advice on their career and mine - it's a lot of work but once you get the hang of it it's a great learning experience: stressful at times - 50% off at the company store! Great perk

Cons

- my work was 80% reporting (sap) 20% project [maybe it was just me but I don't think so] - did not really like the concept of being graded on a number scale at the final review of my time: your work and effort gets a number but then your work gets compared to the others in your class and your number subsequently changes - if you get a manager/supervisor who isn't really present during your time there you don't have as much support and guidance as you need so in a sense you really swim or drown on your own

Pros

I was able to double my resume in terms of important projects that would help me land my next job. Program was well laid out thought our final presentation was all hype but had no real benefit to our performance scores. Great company though, would consider working there.

Cons

This has by far the lowest retention rate of any program for internship/co-op ever. Do not take this position if you are hoping to get a full-time offer upon graduation. It is extremely rare for an offer to be given to an individual who has only one co-op. Performance scores are not judged well, if it is your first co-op you're almost guaranteed to fall in the (5-6) range out of 9. This usually allows you to get a second co-op but it is not enough to get a full-time job.

Pros

Supportive co-workers Great benefits and employee support through health and wellness Very interesting work - feel good about working for a company that helps people Company encourages work-life balance

Cons

Very structured merit/review system based on a curve; only so many people can "excel" It's not what you know, but who you know and J&J is all about relationships - if you don't make good connections or get a sponsor, you won't go far Significant structure in place to ensure work-life balance however, depending on role and/or manager - how that plays out can vary significantly
