Pros

- team members are great, made great colleagues

Cons

the manchester finance department is very toxic. Wrong people in supervisor roles, no training but then massive responsibility. No one to ones. You are expected to manage month ends and year ends from the minute you start with people asking all sorts of questions when you have had zero training. The consensus is the same across the board and so many unhappy people. There's a false perception that it's got a great culture but if the amount of people leaving on a weekly and monthly basis is anything to go by then it's definitely not. Pay is below market rate.

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.
