IPSEN reviews

Terrible leadership, one way (down!). Very little commercial experience and even less people management across leadership team which is obvious. Not sure they even like each other.

Somewhat of a sweatshop. Never fully disconnected/round the clock culture. Fire drills left and right. No support in terms of staff or software resources. Poorly trained managers. No regard for the experience of the employee (career development wise and hours-wise). Feel pressure not to take vacation days. Negative and intense environment. Middle managers are afraid to push back on VPs. VPs are not engaged with the people supporting their functions. "We have a retention problem" has been mentioned on calls. They engage in employee surveys left and right - which is good - but a bunch of buzz words is all the promised actions items that are communicated as the results. Completely unstandardized processes are fostered and tolerated - it's a struggle to find out what was done in the past as records are saved on people's hard drives and time is not given generously to teach about history of how things were handled.
