Pros
Hologic sells itself performance driven organization and I can genuinely say without hesitation that it lives to that reputation. Since joining this organization I have been presented challenging and rewarding opportunities that excite me and have global impact.
Cons
This culture is amazing, it is ever evolving, and it moves FAST - these are all great things however there are times when we moves so fast we do not have the opportunity to plan/prepare and give our best product.

Thank you for your wonderful review! We live into our philosophy talent makes a difference! I love to hear that you are being challenged and given impactful opportunities to allow your talents and strengths to excel. There is no better feeling than being excited to come to work, and that level of engagement is what we work towards every day.
I can agree that Hologic has a sense of urgency to meet the needs of our customers and patients. This was exemplified in our response to meeting the world’s most pressing need in 2020 for testing! It requires us to continually prioritize and align our efforts to doing what is most important and impactful. While we move fast, we never want to compromise quality, and living into the Science of Sure means bringing rigor and discipline into designing and delivering the best product. I encourage you to spend time with your manager to discuss what we can do to ensure we bring both speed and discipline into our work.
Thank you for your continued hard work!
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.
