Pros

There is a great vision and desire to drive forwards at the top.... The company is truly patient-centric but....

Cons

There is almost no collaboration between departments (and often not within a department). There are too many too list issues . Deeply inefficient processes (or complete lack of process) with mangers that don't want to change...... And don't seem to be held accountable. And if you dare to speak up.... Your limited career options well get even less. Don't expect any personal development. The reality on the ground doesn't reflect the vision from the top..... And this does not add to a enjoyable working environment....... All you need to know - if you resign they'll ask you to sign a gagging order so you can't post on sites like this!!!

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

Ipsen continues to offer a mission‑driven environment where teams are genuinely committed to improving outcomes for patients and society, and that sense of purpose shows up in the day‑to‑day culture. Collaboration across functions is strong, and there are meaningful opportunities to contribute to strategy, development, and cross‑functional problem‑solving. We have an amazing team filled with valuable talents.

Cons

The pace of change and evolving priorities can sometimes create ambiguity, and some processes still require tighter alignment to reduce friction and improve consistency. Development pathways and communication around long‑term strategy can feel uneven depending on the team. However, Ipsen remains a place where impact, collaboration, and purpose are real strengths, with room to continue strengthening operational clarity and consistency as the organization grows, which is an achievement.
