      Pros

      This company doesn't have any pros.

      Cons

      Avoid this company if possible. This company is filled with juvenile project managers, who have no experience in efficiently handing projects. They over-promise the customer, and the engineers are DEMANDED to work for 80-100 hrs a week to meet the deadline as promised by the PMs. The engineers are always blamed for not meeting deadlines, while the managers enjoy annual performance bonuses. This company also doesn't have any performance review system, so until you don't ask for a raise, you won't get it. The work culture is pretty abrasive and hostile. Engineers often get yelled at for not working enough.

      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.
