Pros

Ipsen as a global company is growing fast and working to improve all the time. Really great science happening at Milton Park site! If you have a good manager and you are in the right team you will probably do well.

Cons

There is variation between the sites about how they are managed and how great it is to work at the. Most sites seem to be pretty good. However, at the Milton Park site the innovation is high, but the fun is very low. It appears that concern about site reputation is more important to the site management than making for a happy workplace. So the site leadership never learns. There is a lack of trust in the largest of teams, openness, criticism, anyone who behaves discordantly with the site leadership’s ‘ways’ is all frowned upon, making the atmosphere controlling and uncomfortable. Development of staff doesn’t always happen in individual teams (depending on who your manager is) and the only way to get on is probably to move on.

Thank you for taking the time to review Ipsen and for engaging in conversation with us. I agree with you when you write that’ people need to enjoy coming to work’. Ipsen has been working hard to make our work spaces as collaborative and engaging as possible. We have recently been touring our sites to listen to our colleagues' feedback on what makes Ipsen a great company to work for, and also on all the things we can do to improve. Our '5 Ways of Being' outline the behaviours that we believe will help foster a culture of collaboration and accountability, we also want to support our leaders in developing teams and giving each of us the opportunity to grow. It is important to us that your voice be heard especially if you feel you have been left behind. I suggest you consider raising your concerns with your leadership and your HR representative. If you can suggest some simple actions that will help you; then we will gladly consider them and try our best to help you.

Pros

The recruiter that I worked with was wonderful and very in tuned with my career goals and the type of team I wanted to be a part of. He answered all of my questions in a timely manner and was transparent on which roles he felt would be a good match based on the leadership, team, and career aspirations.

Cons

I did not have any cons related to my experience.

Pros

None, I cannot think of one pro.

Cons

The worst experience in my 15 plus career in pharma. The managers are horrible, they work you to death and show zero appreciation. I was so thankful I was a temp, as I would never have wanted to be a full time after what I experienced. It's basically a hot mess of bullying by managers and the Sr. Director's have poor SVPs they report into so it makes sense they management style is horrid.
