Pros

If Operator: good chances to grow and apply to positions if secondary studies are completed or technical studies are being coursed. If Engineer: good opportunity to learn the job and grow as professional. Great place to interact with different rolls into the organization and learn from other areas. Good quality and quantity of training to develop skills. If Manager: Challenging in ways that ensure your grow and that you will go for more (outside Hologic) For all at CR: good benefits are implemented.

Cons

If Operator: no cons. If Engineer: you will grow but chances to go for a management position are low. Lack of balance for duties between Engineering Sustaining Departments. If woman, better avoid getting pregnant, lack of tolerance on this. If Manager: Stressful position. You will have to turn off part of your own personality a go through a very political style and world. If you do a very good job or outstanding job, less chances to try and learn in other department, old school: do not touch what is working well. Micromanagement term will get a new meaning for you. For all at CR: there is not diversity really among the employees, mainly age discrimination: for administrative or indirect positions is common.

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.
