Nice futur for IPSEN, not for employees...

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Talented and engaged people on lower layers

Cons

Managers are more often worried about their own carrier and benefits instead of correctly managing their team. Huge difference between ethical values communicated, and values that are applied... Too much mid-managers. No one wants to take any clear decision, fearing about being fired at the first error... Paradoxically, some of them are just good for mistakes and errors, but are still here...

Pros

Can meet very nice people, committed and talented

Cons

VP and SVPs layers unabling decision making, High politics conflicts, Many coming from mega companies and applying same processes while Ipsen is small and agility is key. Products old with too many emphasis on new molecules rather than LCM, New technology for administering, enabling home hospitalisation, and closing eyes from competition rather than beating them!
