Good place to work, but room for improvement - Research Associate Hologic Employee Review

The non-existent/minuscule merit increases and blatant scarcity of promotions, in tandem with office politics, has been a problem for a couple years running. On the rare occasions it does happen, it is unsurprising to see worthy research associates routinely brushed aside for their undeserving colleague, who just happen to be reporting to the right manager. Previously loyal associates are left frustrated, betrayed, and forsaken. Which obviously leads to low morale and an exodus of talent.
