    I have been working at Hologic full-time for more than 5 years

    Pros

    Best in class products Great reputation

    Cons

    Very little or no training After 7 years of major success, I’m feeling time to move on as there is absolutely no career progression opportunity

    Advice to Management

    Career progression meetings should be offered, stop pigeon holing people, there is no reason a talented person couldn’t move into other roles within the company with support and training.

    Current Employee - Anonymous Employee in Manchester, England

    I have been working at Hologic full-time for less than a year

    Pros

    Found Hologic to be quick and efficient throughout the process and everyone seems really friendly upon starting here. My application was managed by the internal Talent Acquisition Team and they were fantastic. Culture seems to be great and have been welcomed by everyone. Benefits are some of the best I've seen in a long time, with the addition of onsite parking, canteen and gym.

    Cons

    Haven't found any up to now.

    Doesn't Recommend

    I worked at Hologic full-time for less than a year

    Pros

    Working hours are okay free parking

    Cons

    You will get no training just a piece of paper to read and be expected to magically know everything. You will get rude responses from the manager when you ask for help to the point where you’re uncomfortable to ask. The job is advertised as customer service but it’s really just data entry and transferring a call every now and then. There is not nearly enough work for that many people on the team. You will sit there... for a good four or five hours twiddling your thumbs. You’re expected to gush over the company at all times, bit like a cult. For a medical company that talks the talk the benefits are garbage.

    Current Employee - Anonymous Employee 

    I have been working at Hologic full-time

    Pros

    The best products that truly make a difference. Great set of colleagues that make working at Hologic even easier. Opportunity to progress

    Cons

    The main issue I have come across is that internal promotions or pay increases are normally poor whilst external hire seem to be excessively overpaid.

    Advice to Management

    The wages have improved over the last year but further work is required to ensure equality across all old and new staff.

    Pros

    Fast moving, high growth, exciting, you learn a lot and there are opportunities for major career development. If you’re clever and hard working they tend to recognise and reward this.

    Cons

    Sometimes we have to make do with US centric systems and processes. We’re starting to change but it could happen quicker.

    Advice to Management

    Keep going you’re on the right track.
