Pros

The best reasons to work here: learn and contribute to ongoing and new projects, collaborate to broaden skills by understanding the workings of domestic and multinational partners, etc.

Cons

The challenges of working here: same pros can also become cons if not provided with smart solutions and support from your direct manager. The results of an egomaniac being in a management or decision-making position will and does cause distress for others BUT unfortunately there is no help so you must look for outside services and solutions since HR staff is a whitewall with very little understanding and willingness to mitigate issues when they arise.

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.
