Pros

High technology company - I do not think that somebody else in the wold possesses such a technology. However it is what it is.

Cons

I'm very disappointed by how company laid me off. I did many successful projects for the company which are in production already, and just come to me and say that your position is eliminated and you should get out - it was humiliating. I did not deserve such a treatment.

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.
