Pros

None. The worst culture I've ever experienced

Cons

The entire management team has been brought in by mates hiring mates. This has resulted in a culture of corruption and bullying. If your face fits, you're fine, you'll get looked after/promoted, regardless performance. Other people, however, are constantly being bullied out to make way for a mate of somebody to take their job. HR are the enablers of this, sitting back and watching one person after another get bullied out. In their responses on here, they speak of being open, fair and transparent, this is so untrue. I told HR that I was being bullied and they didn't want to know. They didn't even ask by who. Avoid at all costs!

Pros

There are some very talented people working at ipsen. The company has great ambitions. Sadly to say I cannot list any further benefits.

Cons

Staff treated very poorly. Lack of appreciation and staff are disposed of quite suddenly. Unless you are a favourite of the leadership team, no matter how hard you work, it will not be acknowledged or appreciated. Regarding the recent restructure - I have never in my 25 years of working experience come across a more disorganised and poorly communicated redundancy procedure. Nor have I ever seen such an aggressive HR director with bullying tactics. Policies and procedures do not work, and are often not communicated well. There is constant change to process because the previous one was not effective, Staff turnover is high. If you would like to be treated with respect, and fairly, do not work for this company. Morale is exceptionally low. Leadership team are very cliquey. Ipsen can make you feel extremely drained and unmotivated. Right now....this place is one big mess - stay away.

Pros

Snacks, Catered Lunch, in demand therapeutic categories will give you experience to transfer to other companies,

Cons

Culture in my department is toxic, there is a power struggle between different teams, causing role uncertainty. I was initially hired for one job I've spent my career doing, only to find out on the first day of the job my title switched for no reason and responsibilities did as well and then 2-3 months later they are hiring for another FTE in a similar role to my original position I was hired for. Avoid at all costs. They are hiring for bodies not for specific roles or work.
