Pros

- Competitive Salary - Interesting products - Some lovely and talented teams

Cons

Unfortunately Ipsen has becoming more and more about metrics with little focus on people or the customers needs. There has been an increasing amount of micro-management and a steady decline in autonomy as things have moved to a virtual world - I feel less and less trusted in my role. Management does not take feedback productively and instead blames the employees for any issues and suggests it is that teams fault. Those in management roles don't listen to feedback from customers either and instead form their own opinions on what is happening. It feels as though very little progress is ever achieved as materials are delayed and the strategy constantly changes to suit other agendas making it difficult to understand the bigger picture. It also feels as though you are expected to "check in” on emails and phones when on annual leave and that you should not be taking time off.

Pros

The recruiter that I worked with was wonderful and very in tuned with my career goals and the type of team I wanted to be a part of. He answered all of my questions in a timely manner and was transparent on which roles he felt would be a good match based on the leadership, team, and career aspirations.

Cons

I did not have any cons related to my experience.

Pros

None, I cannot think of one pro.

Cons

The worst experience in my 15 plus career in pharma. The managers are horrible, they work you to death and show zero appreciation. I was so thankful I was a temp, as I would never have wanted to be a full time after what I experienced. It's basically a hot mess of bullying by managers and the Sr. Director's have poor SVPs they report into so it makes sense they management style is horrid.
