Pros

No Pros as horrible place to work and cheap. No money, no budget, no respect in Pharma world as can’t compete with bigger pharma as lack of money. Would like to give a 0 star for their experience.

Cons

If you want to know how slaves used to work in ancient times than you should work for Ipsen as there is no work ethics , no working standards, no training just a big chunk of work is given to be completed in a very difficult timeline where you have to sit late nights to complete the work. If objection is shown that you cannot work like a slave for whole day and night than they will finish your contract. Been a European company don’t have any European working ethics nor standards. Lying upper managements are cheap and have no life and treat you badly as their partners do to them at home. Horrible place should stir clear as they don’t have any ethics of saving human lives but only one motto to make money and let the work force work as slaves till death. Bad upper management and lower management filled with dirty politics and disgusting and malicious behaviour. Cheap as don’t have any budget and will lie to you regarding your contract when they are hiring you, even though will have no budget to keep you paying. Third class cheap place as now moved to London while saving money for not paying those hard working slaves. Better working in a toilet as a janitor other than working in this place. All the good reviews seems to be either paid or free lunch reviews.

Pros

Good rate of overtime and bonuses

Cons

I have worked within the packing facility for over 12 months and the last 2 have been terrible. Moral is at an all time low, the breaks have been cut ( for this department only!) from 3 breaks to just 1, which wouldn’t be a problem if it weren’t for the fact that whilst working you get a terrible neck and back ache from the action of the task and the terrible chairs. And especially because we work shift, so on the afternoon shift you now do not have time to eat anything half decent. It certainly feels as though we are being punished for being the busiest department. We always split breaks in order to keep the machine running but that’s a laugh in itself as the machine is awful and breaks down daily. We are expected to rally around, often to the detriment of our personal lives, in order to fulfill orders. Yes, we get paid to do so, but money isn’t everything. Especially when the atmosphere they’ve created is one of disappointment. Also, the management and shift manager are unapproachable, to the point where they will shout in your face.
