Exciting place to work

Pros

Ipsen has developed itself a lot in recent years, and is now showing a clear direction of where it wants to go. The leadership is effectively communicating what is needed from everyone, and is increasingly listening to what the employees want. Ipsen is actively investing in its R&D, and there are many exciting projects for scientists in this industry.

Cons

The high level of change in recent years has led to increased numbers of change projects which can take up a lot of peoples' time, and which in the short term are producing additional burden, but the results are starting to be seen and this should ease off.

Pros

Good benefits - improving all the time Some very hard working talented people doing a lot of the work to make the company successful. Solid established brands with launch brand in exciting phase New Slough office is fantastic following refurb -a great environment

Cons

Thankfully two previous senior commercial leaders have been moved away from the UK business and the mood has changed palpably . The negative reviews on here are 90% valid over the last 2 years and not just poisonous ex employees . Some genuine talented people with extensive experience have left as they were marginalised bullied or quite simply weary of fighting a losing battle to do the right thing The ‘ restructure ‘ at the end of last year was not just a bit of a car crash but illegal and how certain individuals have got away with how people were treated is still something many of us have struggled with . A full HR review of what has gone on here and some rigorous training in HR policies amongst all managers from 1st line to Executive level should happen as redress for this . A women in leadership programme is being pushed ,for example, but if you are over 40 you were deemed past it by previous senior leaders . Young talent is fantastic and needed but a mix is what makes the optimum organisation . Diversity is not just about your gender but also race , age , sexual orientation - basic HR knowledge for most of us ! The good news is there’s a real positive feel around new senior UK leadership so expect to see real progress and a change in reviews on IPSEN . It’s has so much potential -
