Pros

Flexible schedule, 3 weeks vacation starting instead of typical 2 weeks

Cons

No room for growth development, no goals for reviews, all raises are given from Oxford based on overall companies yearly performance, from my time here I have never gotten a yearly end review and my direct boss never knew what my raise was. I had to calculate on my paycheck to know. Also note every year since I was here my annual increase got lower and lower and one year no one got a raise!

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.
