      Ipsen trains so others can retain. Great stepping stone for bigger companies! - Anonymous employee IPSEN Employee Review

      Pros

      Ipsen is a great place to join for a ~2-3 year stint, come in for a bigger role than what you currently have with expanded responsibilities, get good experience in a variety of therapeutic areas, and go somewhere where they will pay you the market value for what you do. By joining Ipsen, you're basically buying the experience that is usually more difficult to get in bigger companies because of all the bureaucracy, and you can use that to leverage into a better role outside of Ipsen.

      Cons

      If you are not french you will not grow. Unfortunately, it's the french way or the highway. If you don't speak french you will most likely never make it past a regional leadership role (at best). Also, Ipsen pays below market value across the board which is a big factor in why their average tenure is so low and people turnaround is so high even within such a fast-paced industry. DO NOT fall for the "come in as a contractor and we will make you a full-time employee soon" scam they really drag the process and create a hostile environment for team members while they're in the contractor stage.

      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.
