Great atmosphere and fascinating science
What works well?
Ichnos is a very dynamic company with a rewarding and positive environment, great values and behaviours are in place with clear objectives and goals. The management values and recognises achievements by all employees which makes it a great company to work for and offers great opportunities for development. The science and technology are cutting edge with very promising impact for patients.
What could be improved?
The visibility of the company is not there yet, some progress with international presentations that could be advertised on different social media platforms to increase visibility.

Fantastic science, amazing colleagues and great place to be!
What works well?
Ichnos (the Biopole site) is a place where I could express my potential. It is a place where you can do great science and seeing it moving from the bench to the clinical insight in first person. This is really rewarding. In addition the group of discovery is very international and young, giving the perfect opportunity to grow in what I think is the best profession ever. Thanks to Ichnos to make this possible!
What could be improved?
Unfortunately, given the COVID situation, the social activities are limited. I think that, as soon as the situation allows, we should organize more social events to boost further the community spirit.

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
