Pros

Benefits are great and that’s all!

Cons

Lack of communications, lack of respect and appreciation for employees. God forbid you get hurt on the job HELPING the company when they are short handed, let me tell you they DO NOT CARE! Will fight you tooth and nail and will have you back to work doing things you shouldn’t be even though they stated they would accommodate. HR is a joke and no help with anything whatsoever and the only way to move up in the company is if you’re a favorite of management. If they can’t push you around or turn you into a robot you have no chance!

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.
