Pros
Ipsen uses both virtual and face-to-face interviews to get to know candidates. The process was transparent, 2-step and accompanied by a recruiter. It is important to the company that new employees are both professionally competent and compatible with the existing team. This was also openly communicated from the outset, that team spirit and mutual support to achieve common goals is of great importance. The working atmosphere is open and cordial and people help each other across departments without ifs and buts. This is particularly helpful during the onboarding process when you don't always know the right person to talk to. During the onboarding process, you are assigned a buddy who helps you find your way around and familiarize yourself with the areas and who you initially accompany on visits.
Cons
In terms of subject-specific topics, onboarding takes place entirely via online courses or simply reading materials, which is not always ideal as there is a lack of exchange.
