Pros

*Great products; most are best in class *Your work contributes to better health for women worldwide *Knowledgeable colleagues *Investment in infrastucture *Profit sharing and good benefits *Town hall meetings used to communicate to employees on a regular basis

Cons

*Have personally seen few opportunities for promotion *Male-dominated upper management *Performance evaluations are flawed; they use "forced ranking" to stay within budget. If you don't know forced ranking: Typically, the top 20% of employees are rated "A", middle 70% are "B" and bottom 10% are "C", regardless of the quality of individual performance. Using forced ranking: If one were to rank all living Nobel laureates, 10% of them would be "C" - they'd be given no raise or promotion and might even be encouraged to look for another job. This is a highly demotivating system and the reason I'm moving on.

Pros

During the last few months a large number of us have faced redundancy. Although it was a difficult time, the HR and Talent Acquisition teams dedicated their time to organise a careers day for us, introducing us to local employers and agencies who have continually shared job opportunities with the affected population. Talent Acquisition ran workshops to support us with interview skills, salary negotiations and to upskill our LinkedIn, We were also offered, which most of us attended, one on one CV writing and job application support. It has left many of us feeling very empowered in being able to secure a new opportunity

Cons

The holiday allowance and pension contribution could be increased!

Pros

I joined Hologic just before COVID hit, which created a turbulent and fast-changing environment. I quickly made an impact by scaling production to meet surging demand, rewriting processes, and leading significant operational changes. While COVID accelerated the growth initially, the ongoing work of addressing resistance, setting clear expectations, and making difficult performance-management decisions has continued for many years, with full backing from management, allowing me to implement necessary improvements effectively. During this time, I navigated a much needed personal health matter with the company’s support, giving me the flexibility, time needed and financial support while remaining focused on my responsibilities. The pace and demand often meant sacrificing perfection to meet ambitious output targets, and long hours and shifting priorities were challenging. Overall, it was an intense but highly rewarding period that strengthened my leadership, operational, and decision-making skills under pressure.

Cons

It is sad that the site is now closing. While I don’t fully agree with the decision or feel my perspective was consulted, I am proud to have contributed and to have been one of the last members of the team.
