Pros

Pay is great but the constant emergencies get old fast. If you are Russian, this is the place to work. No matter how stupid you are, or how many failures you manufacture, you will be kept.

Cons

Terribly mismanaged, emotion driven, reactionary environment. Constantly questioned and scrutinized even if results are evident. Always defending work, unless sanctioned by a Russian...and then the fall guy if a failure.

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.
