Pros

You can work on virtually anything you like, and grow tremendously as an engineer. Vertical integration means you don't have to rely on anyone but the company itself, this is a great business advantage.

Cons

Lack of vision at leadership levels means rudderless boat. No career development opportunities.

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.
