Pros

Met some nice people over the years but most of them left

Cons

Someone already mentioned it here, most of the company is mates hired by mates. So if you are not part of the group, you will not get far. There is no real promotions and room to improve, unless you ask for it. Meaning that if you keep quiet and do your job, you will never get promoted. On the other hand, people who just talk and don't do much will get relly far, just because they know who to smille at and get overexcited about everything they saying. If a majority of your team is in another country (France), you won't be included in most of the discussions or planning, or if you are included they will just send you a 10 days worth of emails, that are all in French and ask you to replay. HR is terrible, if you complain of being mistreated or bullying, it will probably be you leaving the company.

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.
