Pros

It's mid size allows for intrapreneurial initiatives and handling all aspects of drug development in an asset teams that work like empowered agile biotech companies. One can use all past experience and acquire new ones fast due to the wide range of therapies from neuro to onco, plus rare diseases. Truly multi-functional collaboration across many functions. Non toxic people usually very friendly and happy with great working sites all over the world (for example in Cambridge fantastic river front view of Boston skyline) and truly international feeling, with a distinctive French flavor despite the very American and international very experienced colleagues and leadership coming from major Pharma, with meetings in chateauforms throughout France etc. Truly global internal mobility to anywhere in the world if you deserve and produce for the company.

Cons

If you want to specialize too much and just be responsible for a narrow technical area that is possible in a larger company but not at Ipsen where you are expected to understand and communicate often with all other functions from early pharmaceutical development to sales. That can be a con for some but I believe is actually a pro.

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.
