Pluspunten
From a sales persons perspective the basic salaries are slightly above industry averages. The products and solutions that IPC have are truly industry leading. That is why they have such dominant global market share (above 50%). The biggest Pro is their people. They have some extremely talented people throughout the whole company, that passonately care about the company.
Minpunten
Senior leadership is typically American corporate, in that they never want to hear the truth if it relates to problems, issues, or areas for improvement within the company. As this is viewed as being negative and toxic ( the typical American Corporate response). Therefore these views are kept from senior management by middle management, therefore it becomes a two structure organisation. If you work anywhere outside of the US expect to work a 16 hour day, as NYC closes for business at 11.00pm GMT, if in EMEA you are available to work until midnight every night, emails, conf calls etc !! From a sales persons perspective the commisionable element of the OTE salary package is terrible for the revenue that you bring into the company, especially with the profit margins that IPC generate. Typically expect less than .05% of revenue to be paid as commission. Some management do not believe in career progression or succesion planning (although I think that under the new CEO this will and has changed). The owners of IPC (Silver Lake) have been trying to IPO, sell the company for years and as soon as they can they will, so could be uncertaintity in regard to new ownership.
