      Great place to work

      Project manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I have been in the pharmaceutical industry for 11 years, working in Biotech and big pharma. This is by far the best company I have worked for. It is fast paced but processes are in place and many under development, you can contribute towards the improvement of these processes. Your voice is heard, your job is as expanded as you want it to be (just look for the opportunities!) I have seen several excellent managers in different parts of the organization (HR in Milton Park, Project Management Office, leadership site in Milton Park) to name a few. Colleagues are really friendly, you get to work with virtual teams in Europe and Canada/ USA. We are developing great products Project teams structure is very dynamic There is a lot of talent in the organisation and high performers People genuinely care about their jobs Work-life balance is great Diversity is great Company cares for employees- a nice surprise present was sent from site leadership in Milton Park to our homes during the crisis The company is making strides towards establishing a more permanent work from home pattern Offices (France, Wrexham in Wales, Milton Park are truly beautiful) Subsidized canteen for employees Sports subsidy Off site gatherings for project teams

      Cons

      We spend a lot of our time reporting project status and going through project reviews. I wish the work was more focus towards running the projects and delivering the products quicker to market The extra project reviews are due to two big changes in leadership (CEO/ R&D Management) hope management is more stable in the years to come

      Ipsen Puts Patients and Employees First

      Vice president

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The coronavirus situation is a good example of where Ipsen's priorities are. The main focus for then last month has been on how do we ensure patients can continue to get our products during the next few months when our health system will be strained. Ipsen was one of the first companies to mandate their employees work from home.

      Cons

      There are no obvious cons.

      Not perfect but still the best place I've ever worked!

      Pros

      Flexibility is fantastic. I've always been able to work from home whenever required. Salary. Everyone would love to earn more but definitely above average for the area and market rate for the type of work. It really is one of the friendliest places to be, I genuinely enjoy going to work as I actually feel I'm making a difference.

      Cons

      Senior management seem to chop and change the grand vision. This also means goalposts keep changing as well. They also seem to focus on issues that should be managed by SME's. There is also far too much reliance on contractors for project delivery. Should really focus on building a proper projects team of staff members who don't just cut and run at any moment. There also seems to a lot of favouritism where only the preselected people are destined for higher office. This is only strengthened when you see people leaving "to explore opportunities outside of the company" with no prior warning.
