Business stretch that translates in generalized micro-management

Regional commercial manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Ipsen has very engaged teams, ready to tackle new challenges, and really passionate about their jobs. Cross-functional work is well established.

Cons

Ipsen has a good commercialized portfolio but the pipeline could be stronger, despite significant efforts in business development. This translates in a stronger focus on execution with the existing portfolio, that has transformed over time in generalized micro-management. A few examples: the commercial EVP asks for weekly KPI reports from every country, checks every travel plan in case of sales or internal seminars. The workload is massive because the entire transversal team and the entire reporting line are in charge of everything, and have to know every detail, with numerous KPIs and reporting meetings.

Business Outlook

Pros

Salary and benefits are fine.

Cons

The company culture is terrible and contradicts their stated values. Employees can be dismissed while on sick leave, and there is immense pressure to work beyond regular hours and during holidays. The executive leadership team tends to micromanage, and overall leadership is subpar. Opportunities for employee development are limited and highly political. If someone is deemed not a good fit, they are often pushed out.
