Challenging

Anonymous employee

Pros

I was the sole person in my role. I learned a lot about the business and how to hustle to get projects done. Also learned a different way of thinking about solutions to problems to get things done. The people I worked with were really nice. I was able to get the tools needed for the job.

Cons

As the sole person in the role, it was also challenging because often no one understood what I did. People were usually very busy on production schedules to be as available as needed for deadlines or reviews even if my work was important for when the product was shipped.

Strongly do not recommend

Pros

- Three weeks PTO + sick - Flexible schedule

Cons

The bureaucracy taking over this company is almost indescribable. The current situation is so deplorable that many engineering sections of the company have effectively become unable to fulfill their primary function. This is compounded by a growing culture of frankly producing a product that is often of the minimum passable quality. Among all the employees in my section we have ~40 years of experience at IPG as a sum of years worked. Within those 40 years there have only been two instances of a promotion/title change. I cannot say for certain that this is the reason for the diminishing quality, but I can certainly say that the current outlook among my peers is bleak. I can only speak for the engineering departments, but if you are an engineer or similar reading this then I have nothing to say other than this company has extremely few redeeming qualities, and those that it does have are not nearly adequate enough to compensate for its many deficiencies.
