Pros

There are no positive things to say about IQPC. My only happy day was the day I walked in knowing I was quitting. And they even ruined that by spreading rumors that they fired me when I clearly quit!

Cons

DO NOT WORK HERE, even if you're unemployed, it's better than this dump. Everyone here is a liar. They lie to their prospects saying people will be at their conferences when they know they won't be in attendance. And they expect you to sell that lie too. They don't care about repeat business because you don't receive your commission until months later. And don't even get me started on the actual office space - it is gross. It is dirty, has cockroaches, the fridge always smells, the bathrooms run out of toilet paper and they rarely even provide kitchen soap. They also don't provide any office supplies - be prepared to bring your own stapler, pen holder, notebooks, etc.

We normally do not respond to the occasional negative review on Glassdoor, but in this instance we would like to address what was written. We were shocked to read the inaccurate portrayal of the company you posted on Glassdoor. We have a successful track record of developing high quality conferences, including many repeat events that have achieved year on year growth since their initial launch. We pride ourselves on operating with full transparency, and we expect no less from every member of our company. It's surprising to hear that you felt differently during your time with us. We are sorry that your experience here was not up to your expectations, and we hope that you find a job that better aligns with your career goals.

Pros

Title: Great company to work for with an agile and talented team Pros: Working as a Portfolio Manager at IQPC was a great experience. The company is incredibly agile and has a strong ability to adapt to market changes, which is vital in the highly competitive events and conferences industry. This adaptability allows IQPC to stay ahead of trends and continue delivering relevant and high-quality events. The people here are some of the smartest and most capable I’ve had the pleasure of working with — it’s clear that IQPC attracts top talent and fosters a collaborative, supportive environment. One of the standout aspects of the company is how much they invest in their rising talent. There are continuous opportunities for development, and the performance-based pay structure is a great motivator. It not only rewards individual contributions but also drives the company’s success as a whole. This culture of incentivizing high performance was one of the key factors in my own personal and professional growth while there. Overall: IQPC is a solid company with a lot of potential for growth. The leadership is forward-thinking, the people are sharp, and the culture rewards results. While the sales team dynamic might not be perfect, it’s a small downside in an otherwise great work environment. Would recommend to anyone who thrives in a fast-paced, results-oriented setting!

Cons

Cons: Like many fast-paced companies, there is a bit of ego on the sales team. While this is somewhat expected in a high-energy, results-driven environment, it can occasionally cause friction between departments. However, this is something that can be managed with effective communication and collaboration. For junior staff it can be a challenging environment to meet deadlines.

Pros

people were nice enough to work with

Cons

I worked for SSON, our managing director liked to preach that they advocated for their employees, but I was let go, through no fault of my own per their words, after bad training and no real support for the new role I was taking on. Also, there is zero work/life balance despite being able to work from home 2 days a week, my team was exhausted and upper management did not care.
