Pros

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at IQPC as a sponsorship exchange manager. I learnt more working at IQPC than I have in my whole working life. Katie who runs the starter development programme is incredible and although you will find it intense I urge anybody who is fortunate enough to be on the programme to cherish every moment and soak up as much of Katie's knowledge as you can, you will learn skills that you will carry with you long after working at IQPC. I had the pleasure of working on a team ran by divisional sales director, Barry Beany on the healthcare IT exchange and the Global IP exchange portfolio. The team as a whole was always full of energy, lots of laughs every day and a great level of loyalty and understanding. I will miss all of my team members, including mental case Andy Deal. As a manager Barry is brilliant, he gave me an incredible amount of support from the moment I joined til the time that I left. Sitting next to him has been immensely enjoyable, I don't think I have ever laughed so much in a workplace before. As a whole IQPC is a fantastic company to work for, it's like one big family on the exchange floor with an amazing social afterwork culture. I can't thank everyone at IQPC for everything I have learnt during my time and I hope to keep in touch with all the great friends I have made.

Cons

It's difficult for me to provide any cons because i don't have a bad word to say about the company. If I have to give one con, it would be that the amount of work that you but in at first can be incredibly draining and hard but once you move through this and you see how much you have learned and how you can apply it you your role it's totally worth it.

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.
