Pros

An entirely new leadership team has been brought in over the past few years, and have saved a company on the brink of a breakup. A turn-around driven by better leadership and execution without many new products is truly impressive. Reduction of debt, a new focus on international growth, and an enhanced R&D pipeline position the company really well for the future. The products are also life saving, and I'm proud to work for a company that makes a difference. Compensation is very competitive, and high performers are rewarded. If you are just an average performer or want a 9-5 checked out job, chances are you won't be successful here.

Cons

For a company this size, some of the basic processes and systems are fairly archaic. There's been some progress on this in recent years, but there is still a lot of room for improvement. The company has lost some talented people to competitive companies, and there is some risk associated with their recent cynosure acquisition. Time will tell if it's a fit in the portfolio and if it will deliver the expected growth.

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.
