Pros

Decent pay Benefits Somewhat Decent reputation as a company

Cons

This company is a good name with coveted status, however their management leaves something to be desired. Managers hire their friends and then try to pass off their friends as referrals by other people. They talk to their employees terribly. They fail to take care of basic issues that cause their employees to have to work more to fix issues that could be corrected with transparency. Management works very little and has low understanding of what the job their employees are doing and is quick to react when they get wrong information about their employees. Manager flies off the handle with no warning and I've seen many people almost fired because they go off of gossip instead of what is actually happening. Their culture is lacking with management traveling to other parts of the state and country but giving no help to employees that are nearby. They overload new employees and long time ones by not having enough people to cover their territory. Very little appreciation for the people doing the work on the ground.

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.
