Loads of potential......but get getting worse

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There is some great vision from David as the CEO and some genuine patient-centricity that isn't present in other companies but.......

Cons

There is deep inequality; ”Face-fitters" and "average yes men" get promoted leading to mediocre performance. We talk about integration yet buy companies with no interest in actually learning what made them good in the first place (and trying to incorporate it!). Business Development..... Do lots of deals but to hell with the reality of that deal and the (lack of) opportunity it brings. There are no processes, no collaboration........ The company runs on the goodwill of a few (and will burn them out until they either don't care or are spent). Employees aren't held to account.

Pros

Pretty sure there are none

Cons

Watching us go through the "supposed" integration with a recently purchased company, it's clear that Paulson leaving didn't help. The US group is beholden to the global team and is ruled by fear. Decisions are rare and churn is eternal. Legacy Ipsen held in limbo for months, employees from Epizyme cut out of the mix. Oncology business unit is a mess - both commercial and medical. This isn't the Ipsen anyone who knows what the original Ipsen was, and it's a shame on so many levels.

Frustrating place to work

Business Outlook

Pros

Shift pattern and No weekends

Cons

Process equipment constantly breaking down and nothing getting done. Too many pointless 'meetings'. Lots of talking but not enough action. Using whiteboards and big sheets of paper for trackers. Way way behind other pharma companies in terms of digitalisation. Training is subpar. Technologists who haven't completed their own training are left to train new hires
