Pros

I would only recommend working at IPG Photonics if you are at the end of your rope and can't find a job anywhere else. The only pros of working at IPG is that their stock is high and they give you a bonus and raise every year.

Cons

Culture is odd and management is the pits! HR is inept. Lots of discourteous people and no morale. The Oxford office is in the middle of nowhere. The Marlboro office and has zero community and low energy.. No self-respecting person would want to work there. The company does not have annual reviews; therefore, the majority of employees are disengaged with their jobs because of lack of feedback.

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.
