Pros

The coworkers are amazing (on the manufacturing floor) and I couldn't ask for a better supervisor. The benefits package is good for the most part. With the job you get dental for cheap, life insurance included, and mammography's at clinics that use Hologic machines.

Cons

This company does not try to hide the fact that they are revenue first, everything second. Many employees need to work two jobs to survive while the company rakes in billions in profits every year. On the office side, the culture is very isolated (at least for US offices) and it's hard to get people to talk to you. The job can get very frustrating when many of the issues come from either legacy engineers or an unwillingness of supervisors and managers to try something new. There are very few people who are allowed to work from home even when many of the office side jobs are almost 100% computer based.

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.
