Pros

Great benefits, positive work environment for the most part, flexible hours (depends on department/position)

Cons

Annual raises are pretty disappointing, you can work harder compared to someone who does significantly less and expect the same percentage increase, every year they been moving the annual raises back. No quarterly bonus. Terrible parking, if you come later than 7am your gonna expect to walk far. Don’t expect to make a decent amount more money for taking on more responsibility.

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.
