Pros

The fast paced environment at IPG gets you used to working in the industry quickly. The engineering team is also a great group of people who often collaborate on projects. With a large focus on constant improvement on hardware, software and yield, it's easy to be engaged with projects.

Cons

The number of hours required is more than I would've liked. We are often required to work mandatory Saturdays when production falls behind.

Pros

Can't think of any pros at IPG Medical.

Cons

Don't go by the size of the company. They have no processes in place. Extremely toxic leadership. They have no control on the old guard. You will see a lot of people there for decades, but not a lot of new people. New people run away from there. The place is full of extreme micromanagement, disrespect towards employee's education and experience. They like to plan but not follow the plan. Resource allocation is a joke. A handful of people are overworked and a majority of people are twiddling their thumbs. Only those knowing the old guard benefit from that place. Everyone else is an outsider.
