Pros

The pay was great! My manager was really understanding when I needed time off. Work life balance was superb. I really appreciate the time that I spent with the team I worked with. Now that time has passed I realized what a great opportunity I had working with this company.

Cons

I worked hard for the money and extra roles were directed to me frequently regardless of my work load. For some odd reason, all the physicist thought they were my direct manager. Leadership and management was lacking in a concise direction.

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.
