Pros

Cynosure is part of Hologic and therefore employees are offered a very solid benefits program. You can make decent money, but potentially at a high cost to your values and moral standards. Some good products

Cons

Where to start? There is lip service from the executive leadership team that Cynosure has evolved from the previous Cyno 1.0 appauling and dishonorable culture. But in reality it is still very much alive and well. Sales teams are taught a very aggressive, scripted model of selling and there is no variation. This leaves very little room to cultivate long-lasting relationships with customers. It is a true game of quantity vs quality. It is a push culture with very little mentoring. Egregious behaviour is ignored if the person responsible is a sales 'producer.' There is insane turnover company wide with very few exceptions. Well over 50% have volunantarily quit or have been pushed out. This creates a very unstable team environment and the constant need to regroup and rebuild teams. It is not a sustainable business model and it is shocking that the executive leadership team seem to point fingers, deflect or ignore rather than consider what could be done better to retain talent.

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.
