Pros

Good rate of overtime and bonuses

Cons

I have worked within the packing facility for over 12 months and the last 2 have been terrible. Moral is at an all time low, the breaks have been cut ( for this department only!) from 3 breaks to just 1, which wouldn’t be a problem if it weren’t for the fact that whilst working you get a terrible neck and back ache from the action of the task and the terrible chairs. And especially because we work shift, so on the afternoon shift you now do not have time to eat anything half decent. It certainly feels as though we are being punished for being the busiest department. We always split breaks in order to keep the machine running but that’s a laugh in itself as the machine is awful and breaks down daily. We are expected to rally around, often to the detriment of our personal lives, in order to fulfill orders. Yes, we get paid to do so, but money isn’t everything. Especially when the atmosphere they’ve created is one of disappointment. Also, the management and shift manager are unapproachable, to the point where they will shout in your face.

Pros

Good products and pipeline Recent changes in the senior commercial management in the uk

Cons

This website allows people to air their views on companies they have worked for, and while I agree that the reviews for Ipsen especially in Slough have been extremely negative, this reflects peoples individual experience. One contributor who is obviously well in with the correct clique said ex employees were 'poisonous' which is rubbish because these are individual experiences not a coordinated campaign. It is a very political cliquey culture and has been like this for 4 years. The people that were made redundant/sacked/resigned were not all bad at there jobs, generally they did not fit or enjoy the culture created by the senior management. I am in contact with people who are still there and sadly despite some of the ultra positive reviews the it has not changed and people are still generally unhappy.

Pros

Great people, lean organization that works hard, but finds time to have fun along the way. Lots of growth opportunity for someone who is all in and checks the ego at the door.

Cons

Lean organization that works hard, if you do not know how to shut it off when you go home, you may burn out!
