Pros

I love my supervisor. He's great. Always kind and reasonable. And I have decent benefits and ok pay for my age.

Cons

Pay is a bit low for what I do. I have heard many stories and firsthand accounts about a manager in the other building, 50G, where they make diodes, who creates nightmares for employees. He takes pictures of their workspaces if a chair isn't pushed in, or if a single paper is on the floor. He micromanages everyone and everyone knows who this guy is. Nobody likes to deal with him.

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.
