Pros

No lack of resources or tools. Comfortable work environment. Lots of very smart people.

Cons

Many layers of managers who meet among themselves but rarely communicate with the worker bees. Feels like there are the "cool kids" and the rest of us.

Thank you for leaving us with your thoughts. We work hard to ensure that everyone has the tools and resources they need to do their job, a friendly and collaborative work environment, and is surrounded by other intelligent and driven individuals. Thank you for these callouts! We realize how important communication is, and keeping our employees informed. While there may be times that information cannot be shared broadly for a period of time, we as a company always try to remain as transparent as possible. Although leadership meetings are vital, we never want anyone feeling secluded or feeling like they have no visibility into what their team is working on. I would really encourage you to have an open conversation with your manager to discuss what it is that they are working on and how you may be able to get more involved, and to share your thoughts on wanting to stay more informed moving forward. If you are not comfortable going to them directly, my door is always open. We appreciate all that you are doing and all your hard work!

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.
