Pros

Great people. New leadership (President, Sales and Marketing) is positive and optimistic- they're great assetts to the company and will definitely help pull it out of the slump. Interesting industry with innovative products. Good sales training program being built out. Hologic is a reputible organization to be associated with.

Cons

Different culture now that Cynosure falls under Hologic. Always in the "dog house" because of super low sales- most of the sales team is brand new and unfamiliar with technology- everyone else is being punished because sales are down. Hologic is trying too hard to turn innovative and fun culture into stale corporate culture. VERY unrealistic expectations from Hologic on how fast employees can move and get work done, which leads to a LOT of departures/burn outs. Little to no opportunities for promotions due to lack of budget.

Pros

Fair Pay, some pretty good teammates

Cons

Worked there a while back and overall Hologic was not much on work-life balance in the IT department. It is often expected to work extra hours during key projects/upgrades, but these projects could go on years or multiple long periods during a year. CIO had a punitive management style who reveled, proudly and vocally, in that role. Any communication to anyone outside of the IT department was also strongly micromanaged by the organization's CIO. This level of micromanagement and very vocal punitive management style all served in an attempt to hide much disorganization and level of noncompetence at that very top-level individual. Under the CIO are some decent directors however, but it was always dismaying to see what these direct reports to the CIO had to deal with. I believe after years it became so normalized to them that they stopped realizing what should be normal.
