IPSEN reviews

Extremely toxic work culture on the rare disease medical affairs side. Some of the management and leadership are outright dishonest and incompetent (Peter principle, anyone?). Few in management understand the rare disease therapeutics, diseases, and companies they aggressively acquire. Middle management readily throws team members lower in the hierarchy under the bus when executive and global leadership inquire about their failures to plan and execute. There is a consistent unwillingness on the management’s part to take responsibility and a “pass the buck” (downward, of course) mentality predominates. Very little sense that you’re on a team, that you’re valued, and that your work will be supported and (when appropriate) defended. Because of this, turnover is perpetual and they hemorrhage a lot of talent. Ipsen HR regularly grandstands about having a healthy, safe culture but it’s entirely empty rhetoric. Ask yourself why they are constantly posting the same jobs and unable to fill positions and what this signifies. Avoid.
