Pros

Ipsen has very engaged teams, ready to tackle new challenges, and really passionate about their jobs. Cross-functional work is well established.

Cons

Ipsen has a good commercialized portfolio but the pipeline could be stronger, despite significant efforts in business development. This translates in a stronger focus on execution with the existing portfolio, that has transformed over time in generalized micro-management. A few examples: the commercial EVP asks for weekly KPI reports from every country, checks every travel plan in case of sales or internal seminars. The workload is massive because the entire transversal team and the entire reporting line are in charge of everything, and have to know every detail, with numerous KPIs and reporting meetings.

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.
