Help!!!! Avoid...
What works well?
- Not much - The free cafes - The labs and their view on the lake
What could be improved?
-The hierarchy that apparently knew how to manage the COVID crisis. A very big joke, knowing that we were putting our lives at risk by coming to the site with no health rules. - HR, who are not there at all for the employees and who do no work. - The science that is not done properly at all by spending money out of the window knowing that no investor wants to invest in this company except Glenmark who is desperate to get rid of it. - The team leaders who are not leaders but rather small bosses with no management experience. In short, a toxic environment to avoid.

If you want to do science apply in another company
What works well?
Nice view from the lab Good bridge from science to start a career in politic field
What could be improved?
Ichnos sciences is defined itself by “a transformative company with a vision black and white with key values : high performance, forward thinking” Maybe they can change with the correct ones : toxic environment [incompetence etc….. This company is clearly just focused on politics and on personal interests. The big layer of manager people is not in Ichnos to drive science and manage people but just for not taking decision, create rivalry between teams and passing the buck to protect themselves. Toxic and incompetent employees are valued and thanked because they belittle and they do bullying on other people. You can’t be happy in this compagny if you just want to do science and find a cure for patients. Lot of projects change all the time without clear communication and let people manage it alone. Management and HR people blind eye on policy when it is benefit for them and call that accountability, when it is not the case they chase people. HR people take time to write fake comments but they don’t think about the way to write them to be credible. Lot of people who are working in ichnos are in the company for less than one year because all previous employee resigned (or looked for job for the remaining person). The salary are low

Dear applicant, First of all, thank you for taking your time and leaving a review. This helps us to improve. We confirm inconsistence with applications feedback. The last few months there was an implementation of our company career page and an automated application tracking system. Together with high volume of recruitment this partly caused a delay in replies, sometimes substantial. Please try re-applying now via explore opportunities section at www.ichnossciences.com or send a message to the inessa.duerst@ichnossciences.com. Your query will be processed separately. Please accept apologies on behalf of the company. Kind regards, Talent Acquisition Team

Great colleagues, exciting development opportunities
What works well?
Great colleagues, good work atmosphere in La Chaux-de-Fonds. Interesting and dynamic projects, a lot of cross-functional interaction, many opportunities to learn more, get involved, take ownership, and develop both scientific and soft skills. Invested middle and upper management and mentors, clearly working harder toward better transparency and communication through all the corporate changes of the past year. Excellent handling of and support during the COVID-19 crisis.
What could be improved?
Continuing to push for overall transparency and improved communication between both sites and departments; better support and responsiveness from HR, where we have seen a marked decline in services over the past year.

Dynamic company with great science and work environment
What works well?
-Great work atmosphere, diverse and open environment and nice colleagues at la-Chaux-de-Fonds. -Senior management has an open door policy and is available. High scientific level and science driven projects with focus on finding solutions for patients. -Nice opportunities for career evolution and for acquiring new skills and knowledge. -Flexible work times. -The Covid-19 situation was well managed and the company responded well to the challenge, adopting a home office policy and providing for protection for employees who needed to be on site.
What could be improved?
-The company is expanding with an ambitious portfolio of new projects, this needs more resources whether in material or in manpower. -HR services can significantly improve -Salaries and benefits need to become more competitive

Fantastic opportunity to write the next chapter of medicine
What works well?
Great Sciences and diversity. Huge potential. The executive team has very well managed the Covid-19 crisis and the business continuity plan. A lot of flexibility for home office work and trust.
What could be improved?
The company is growing exponentially and quicker than the capabilities to improve and implement new systems & processes to support growth. Just a question of time to catch up. Salaries are competitive but pension funds could be improved.
