Pros

This is a great company to grow at - it's large enough that you have fairly robust resources, but small enough that you get a lot of exposure in global projects and activities. The benefits in US are fantastic - 401k is one of the best in the industry. The leadership cares a lot about the employees - COVID-19 really exemplified this by making sure everyone had what they needed to work effectively at home.

Cons

The company grew so quickly in Cambridge last year that I don't think they always got the right people for the right roles, so there has been some turnover. The organization needs to improve in some processes and systems. Also quite risk-adverse at times (more than other pharma companies).

Pros

Ipsen continues to offer a mission‑driven environment where teams are genuinely committed to improving outcomes for patients and society, and that sense of purpose shows up in the day‑to‑day culture. Collaboration across functions is strong, and there are meaningful opportunities to contribute to strategy, development, and cross‑functional problem‑solving. We have an amazing team filled with valuable talents.

Cons

The pace of change and evolving priorities can sometimes create ambiguity, and some processes still require tighter alignment to reduce friction and improve consistency. Development pathways and communication around long‑term strategy can feel uneven depending on the team. However, Ipsen remains a place where impact, collaboration, and purpose are real strengths, with room to continue strengthening operational clarity and consistency as the organization grows, which is an achievement.

Pros

Some nice colleagues. Good perks.

Cons

High leadership turnover and lack of transparency and direction. A few toxic individuals are running the show, promoting inexperienced employees at the expense of competent ones.
