Pros

IFS was formed with a portfolio of solid, engineering focused smaller companies that built and sold reliable pump products. There is a relatively good appreciation of work/life balance, and the facility itself is centrally located.

Cons

Once the company was acquired by a Chicago based PE group, there has been less product focus and more of a push for increasing the bottom line. Unfortunately, that comes at the cost of the engineering and product focus which made the company successful to begin with. Company is also very much run from the boardroom by individuals who have business sense, but appear to know or care little about drivers of long-term success. Massive disconnect between C-Suite and Management

Pros

Engineering Dept has alot of knowledge and one can learn alot if they are willing to work for it. Great company to grow with if you are green. Working with pumps is universal in engineering industry.

Cons

Company structure is top heavy. Too many managers and too few workers. Upper management stays in office all day on meetings talking about what they are going to fix but never actually act. They have been the cause of several great people to leave the company with many more to follow. Also do not expect to get much help from HR. It stands for Hardly Reachable at this company. They also seem to have a closed door policy 95% of the time. The company is private equity owned so all they care about are numbers and not the people that work for them.
