Pros

flexibility, dynamic team, and meetings every 6 months for the team's growth

Cons

Cheap mindset, you have to justify your meals and expenses to your direct manager and must talk about the chocolate bar you ate on your previous trip for the duration of your employment with this company. They are not seeking to save money for the FS group; rather, the manager has free time to go over all of your meals and the items you ordered for the trip. Rather than discussing the chocolate bar, please try to move me into the courses I want to be in and use my intellect at the R&D level. I found this horrible and despised this attitude, thus I'm quitting this role.

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.
