Beware - Not A Healthy Environment

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

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

Pretty sure there are none

Cons

Watching us go through the "supposed" integration with a recently purchased company, it's clear that Paulson leaving didn't help. The US group is beholden to the global team and is ruled by fear. Decisions are rare and churn is eternal. Legacy Ipsen held in limbo for months, employees from Epizyme cut out of the mix. Oncology business unit is a mess - both commercial and medical. This isn't the Ipsen anyone who knows what the original Ipsen was, and it's a shame on so many levels.
