Pros

If you work in a higher level position you get more schedule freedom. ESPP, 12 Holidays and lots of vacation time. Some times bonuses and almost always cost of living raises.

Cons

Its growing fast and with that they are forgetting to hire or promote from within. Outsiders get the management jobs unless you have a 4 year degree. So the old ways of promotion with decades of experience is gone there.

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.
