Pros

It was a paid internship.

Cons

This is a terrible company. I can't even begin to describe how much they disrespected me. I interned there for 5 months. At first, I really enjoyed the internship but then my supervisor left and I had to do all her work. I don't mind having a lot of work but upper management never acknowledged all the hard work I was putting into everything I did for them. I was stressed out for two months straight. My hiring supervisor volunteered me for so many other tasks that I didn't even have time to complete but I still got everything done even if I had to take my work home. I never got a job offer or a pay increase even though I was doing much more work than any other interns (and even some employees). Even on my last day on the job they managed to disrespect me even more by not accepting my timesheet. I wasn't able to claim 9 hours of work that I did for two different tasks. They told me that one task should have only taken 2 hours but it actually took me 5 hours to complete. If it was only 2 hours of work why didn't they complete the task? For the other task they sent me the wrong chart to complete but somehow they blamed me and I wasn't able to claim the 4 hours I put into filling out the chart that they sent me. On top of that they still owe me hours of over time. IQ claims to be a communication firm but they have no communication within their own company. I'm so glad I found an actual job and I never have to look back. Don't work at IQ unless you have no other options. Horrible company all around.

Pros

Great talent that enjoys working together, and teams truly get along. There is a strong "we are in this together" approach with most of the project teams at the company. What I miss most about the company is the people I was able to work alongside.

Cons

It's a smaller, remote company, so as much as they try to do things to keep people connected, it still feels a bit team-centric and not company-centric. There just isn't the capacity to effectively showcase what is going on within other parts of the company, the available projects, etc., but they've made efforts. Like any agency, things can get busy, but it ebbs and flows so it could always be worse.
