Beware - Not A Healthy Environment

Pros

A medium sized company feeling, colleagues (not including senior management in Paris) put their best into their work and are dedicated; management knows employees names so, you are not anonymous.

Cons

A culture that rewards lying to benefit oneself at the expense of others. Limited pipeline. Limited/no opportunities for advancement. Too top-heavy an organization. Either you are one of the 'chosen' few or you are not. The feeling that US based employees can be treated however the company desires (they don't have the strict legal rules as in Europe) whether right or wrong.

Pros

Compensation is generous and vacation time is good. My colleagues are supportive and committed to making IPSEN US a success.

Cons

Unfortunately, the constant turnover of upper management has created a culture that is best describes as nebulous and inefficient. It is quite apparent that individuals come to IPSEN US to gain a brief experience before moving on to major pharmaceutical companies. Thus, IPSEN has become a training ground. There is rarely an opportunity for promotion at IPSEN US. Currently the company has an unbelievable number of contractors on the payroll.
