Pros

You likely will like your team and or your work.

Cons

Never come to hologic as a temp. You will not be hired as there is a culture of indefinitely extending contracts and to be full time hired after years of temping being forced to take a pay cut. 6 years running now amongst different departments. You will not advance much and do not expect even a dollar raise after a couple years of loyalty and title raises. You won’t see an increase to PTO/Sick time that is significant until you’ve been here 10 years with their rigid plan for full time employees. Upper management has a massive disconnect with lab workers and manufacturing and the continuous “improvements” made lead to micromanagement and razor thin margins for manufacturing despite having quarterly profits over 900 million. You won’t see it. Expect poor representation and compensation unless you come in at a high level or management.

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.
