Pros
They offer a mix of some destructive new technologies (about 20% of the product line) and some very "me too" offerings (about 80% of the product line- extremely mundane). Its that new destructive technology that drove my interest in the company and is also why I accepted the position. They tend to present themselves as a high-end medical device developer, although much of their product development comes from contracted third parties. The internal environment is somewhat anti corporate America, and they envision themselves as the smaller Bone Density company that they were 25 years ago. While externally their messaging attempts to align them with behemoths such as GE, Philips, and Medtronic. They neither align well with these groups nor do they compete effectively, unfortunately they have never been able to make the next step - and should be primed by now for slicing and dicing and some re-organization once again.
Cons
There is the old-hologic (aka: old- boy) network in place, the organization tends to protect the old guard that has been around much too long, getting fat, accomplishing nothing, and living by the mantra - " but we have always done it this way"! New ideas are often shunned, and they absolutely do not want "the new blood" successfully driving sales and revenue. Overall just a very strange work environment and internal attitude, that breeds complacency.
