Pros

Ipsen is attentive to its employees' development and professional fulfilment. I joined in 2020 as an intern, with clear carrier goals and I felt supported at every step, transitioning from my internship to a VIE in Boston to a full-time position in France. These contracts changes had significant administrative burdens in which I felt very well supported by the team and my HR business partner. I've been very happy with my experience at Ipsen so far (4 years) and I recommend this company.

Cons

Being a VIE in the US can be challenging in terms of compensation which is far off the compensation a full-time employee would receive for the same position, role and responsabilities (this is more linked to the VIE program than Ipsen itself). Also, being considered as an "external consultant" can be frustrating given the responsabilities you are given.

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.
