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 -

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.
