Pros

This company is employing excellent people, it has a noble product line, and it is thus far maintaining itself as consistent growth company.

Cons

The company has gone big with "Self Service" - as a means of internal growth - which means that unique expertise is not used fully - being diluted by self-service tasks (for example, engineers processing Engineering Change Orders, expense reports, etc. - rather than focusing time on engineering) - Unfortunately the Co has no way of measuring the impact that the "Self Service" trend has on expertise productivity.

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.
