Pros

- Job descriptions are sufficiently detailed and accurate to the work you will be doing on the job. There is very good balance between standard work and project work opportunities. - The TA representative was very personable and approachable, answered any questions or followed up if needed. You are kept in the loop and moved forward through the different stages of the process in an efficient manner - The format of the interview is one that assesses your motivation for the role and company, is performance based and is not over-lengthy. You will get to discuss the role with your own manager and meet the other managers you indirectly work with in your different workstreams.

Cons

No real cons from me, it is a fast paced environment with the company going through a period of transformation. There are many internal moves visible at the plant and a lot of opportunity for progression and parallel moves.

Pros

It's mid size allows for intrapreneurial initiatives and handling all aspects of drug development in an asset teams that work like empowered agile biotech companies. One can use all past experience and acquire new ones fast due to the wide range of therapies from neuro to onco, plus rare diseases. Truly multi-functional collaboration across many functions. Non toxic people usually very friendly and happy with great working sites all over the world (for example in Cambridge fantastic river front view of Boston skyline) and truly international feeling, with a distinctive French flavor despite the very American and international very experienced colleagues and leadership coming from major Pharma, with meetings in chateauforms throughout France etc. Truly global internal mobility to anywhere in the world if you deserve and produce for the company.

Cons

If you want to specialize too much and just be responsible for a narrow technical area that is possible in a larger company but not at Ipsen where you are expected to understand and communicate often with all other functions from early pharmaceutical development to sales. That can be a con for some but I believe is actually a pro.
