Pros

Open dialogue, clear direction, strictly NO BLAME culture. Open to new ideas and initiatives. Welcome collaboration and team work. Patient at heart of everything we do shines through!

Cons

IT can be a challenge! Outsourcing certain functions can cause duplication instead of simplification of work as form filling arduous.

Pros

Lots of great people and new senior leaders committed to shaping IPSEN into a great place to work. Nimble and able to cut through to the bottom of the butter to make decisions. Launched new renal cancer drug with incredibly challenging timelines . Belief and aspiration to achieve . Great conferences ! Some good benefits - e.g. Sports membership subsidy . Improved car scheme . Very competitive pension.

Cons

Has been a rapid turnover in recent year or 2 as some individuals felt the new IPSEN wasn't for them . Some great people have been able to move on and develop within IPSEN but succession planning to be improved to avoid gaps . Can be a bit chaotic but fun Incentive scheme not really hit the mark this year but plans in place to put it right

Thank you for taking time to review us on this site. I value your kind and encouraging words. Last year’s launch of Cabo has been a truly inspiring experience for all of us and it goes a long way towards proving how much we can achieve when we all work together. I am also sensitive to your recommendations that we need to improve our succession plans and we have ambitious plans to address these issues through the deployment of new HR tools. I'm optimistic that we are on the right track in our bid to become a leading global biotech company. Thank you for your ongoing dedication and feedback.
