Pros

Goood benefits and company will pay you whatever you ask because they have ZERO luck of filling open positions. Avoid this place at all costs.

Cons

I can write a book for this company.. terrible management without planning of any resources, hire people with high hopes who soon realize after joining that it is a deep hole topped with french culture. Clinical operations dept is under resourced and over worked. Noone wants to stick around because of the bossy culture. There is no respect for each other in this hierarchical model. French office staff technically doesn’t do much except responding to emails after months... Clinical operations team have to take on variety of tasks from purchasing, QA, finance, etc. No team culture or spirit. Everyone is cutting each other to get things done or blame. Highly avoid this place. Even though looks good in first place with nice office in Cambridge, decent pay and benefits— highly avoid because you will want to leave company in next 6 months.

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.
