Hologic Employee Reviews about "work life balance"

Pros

Whilst starting a new role can be incredibly daunting, beginning my role at Hologic has been a wonderful experience. I have felt nothing but support since day one. I have been made to feel welcomed and valued as a member of the team. The working hours are flexible and employee engagement is a central focus - as an employer Hologic understand that life does not begin and end once you walk into the office. Work life balance is important to the company and you are made to feel at ease and comfortable with every decision that is made.

Cons

Lots of internal training modules are completed within the first 30 days - this can sometimes feel like it is never-ending as there are so many.

Pros

-the people -the products -culture -pay/benefits -many roles provide an ideal work life balance

Cons

-hard to move up without willingness to invest significant time in overnight travel -hard to achieve a good work life balance in some roles

Pros

• Retains good engineers (most software engineers are 6+ years at Hologic) • Good Work/Life balance (rarely over 45 hours per week for exempt employees) • Competitive benefits (including retirement vesting & continuing education compensation) • Good middle-management helps keep engineers productive • Focus on people and purpose, which comes naturally • Healthy internship program

Cons

• Understaffed engineering group means the group is susceptible to disturbances (even vacations can cause unexpected issues in workflow) • Despite understaffed group, salaries are moderate • Neglected requirements documents cause major problems for an FDA-regulated group • Bad software culture leans away from Agile and Unit Testing, leading to too much dependence on the competence of individual software engineers • Not enough communication with the end-clients during development leads to decisions in a vacuum • Small size leads to lack of horizontal movement opportunities ("locked in" to a role) • Very informal on-boarding process for new engineers (likely due to the fact that the group rarely hires new engineers, outside of interns), despite the fact that strong domain knowledge is required to function well

Pros

Environment is comfortable and supportive. Most people genuinely want to help or do a good job. Managers care about feed back and want to know how to improve working conditions. There’s a great work life balance that is promoted
