Pros

IQPC gives employees with potential the room to tackle new challenges. This isn't the kind of place where you necessarily have to have done all the facets of the job before in order to be considered. If you're smart and talented, but lack experience, they will give you the opportunity and training to learn new skills. That is what led me here, and I haven't been disappointed. This is a company that values initiative, hard work, moxie, and passion. If you are willing to help yourself, they will help you right back. It's a great place for people to learn the language of business, hone their writing and speaking skills, and really get to know certain industries.

Cons

There are a lot of high achieving people here, and they have little tolerance for laziness and under-performance. With the ability to gain a lot (experience, money, promotional opportunities), IQPC expects a lot in return. It's not necessarily a con - it's just a fact that some people may not feel suits them, and that's OK. Not every job or every company is for every personality type. But there are plenty of employees here who have stayed a long time and are very happy here.

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.
