Pros

Lots of really great, smart people. The products are second to none and it really motivates everyone knowing you are making a positive contribution to the world. Steve has made a huge positive difference and motivates the entire organization.

Cons

There is a huge disconnect between management and employees. The focus on engagement has turned into a manipulated attempt to just improve scores and not actually change anything. HR wields way too much power and as a result overlooks real concerns. Senior most management is made up of really great people, but they're not getting the truth from mid-management.

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.
