Pros

They have an excess of overtime - work as much as you want. They will be somewhat flexible with start and end time. Blue Cross and Blue Shield.

Cons

1. Communication - This is by far the worst palace I have ever worked for for communication. 2. They manage through intimidation and threat. 3. It is pretty clear they do not understand just what diversity means. 4. They may give you good vacation bennies but do not expect to use them their concept is more like WORK no Life Balance. 5. Management and Eng Management think only in the short term and when things fail or collapse they can only point fingers. 6. There is an unending parade of self important elites happy to ignore your experience in place of their perfection. 7. They seem to think Safety means "Hide all the violations we run with every day till the inspector is gone". 8. Do not expect to be recognized for your ideas, hard work, or dedication... In fact you will be ignored, or labeled as an agitator and then hear how someone higher placed than you has done so much (most of which sounds oddly like your own work).

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.
