Pros

Excellent products with strong growth potential. Strong sales growth in past year Bold ambition of 1 new product or major indication launch per year from now on Strong new CEO

Cons

Recent commercial restructure has been a car crash. Executed too quickly to meet management objectives rather than keeping the needs of employees involved at heart. Whole thing was poorly delivered and communicated and has resulted in low morale and some poor internal appointments when external hires would have been better for the business. Lack of,or poor processes which hinder agility. Sub-standard reward and recognition scheme and no consistency in recognition of a job well done

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.

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.
