IPG Photonics reviews

Not a team environment, very hierarchical, lack the ability to move up within (open positions not posted) the only way to move up is to speak Russian or be brought in my one, status is more important than a job well done, they belittle people especially those who are not executives and this is acceptable, you are treated like a robot and not a human, HR is a joke and not people oriented at all

Poor management. Nepotism and hearsay have as much impact on your success as your performance does. There is a distinct lack of professionalism and employees are occasionally "dressed down" in front of others for marginal reasons. Hourly employees are normally expected to put in substantial overtime hours and salaried are also expected to work long days and weekends to make very aggressive delivery schedules. No performance evaluation system in place. In the three-plus years I worked there I never received a review or merit increase.
