Pros

Some of the people are great and there are some decent opportunities to develop

Cons

There are a lot of big egos in Ipsen who think they know it all because they read a couple of management books. Because of this hollow and false business environment, the staff have no motivation to deliver the company vision. It's a real shame, because there are some really good people at Ipsen, and in the wider organisation, but the UK is simply poisoned. I am completely appalled at the brutal, uncaring, 'face doesn't fit-lets fire them' attitude that they have there, and it seems there are factions developing between those whose face does fit and those they try and push out but can't because they haven't done anything wrong. That is not the right way to motivate and inspire staff. The high degree of nepotism means only a chosen few will progress.

Pros

The recruiter that I worked with was wonderful and very in tuned with my career goals and the type of team I wanted to be a part of. He answered all of my questions in a timely manner and was transparent on which roles he felt would be a good match based on the leadership, team, and career aspirations.

Cons

I did not have any cons related to my experience.

Pros

None, I cannot think of one pro.

Cons

The worst experience in my 15 plus career in pharma. The managers are horrible, they work you to death and show zero appreciation. I was so thankful I was a temp, as I would never have wanted to be a full time after what I experienced. It's basically a hot mess of bullying by managers and the Sr. Director's have poor SVPs they report into so it makes sense they management style is horrid.
