      Some potential but...... getting worse - Anonymous employee IPSEN Employee Review

      Pros

      There is good vision from David as the CEO. There is super-strong 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. The "yes men" think it's acceptable to mess with people's paid-time-off and social time and suggest "you're not a team player" if you raise a concern about this. If you do raise a concern, it won't be taken seriously.... just your career prospects will magically get worse. 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!). There are no meaningful processes, no collaboration. We talk about "barriers to execution" but won't really address fundamental issues and don't embrace nor foster a 'speak up' culture - no matter what we plaster on the walls. 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. It's a shame. I love our values and what we stand for. We have potential but............ without being translated into something tangible it's just lip-gloss

      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.

      Pros

      Some nice colleagues. Good perks.

      Cons

      High leadership turnover and lack of transparency and direction. A few toxic individuals are running the show, promoting inexperienced employees at the expense of competent ones.
