Pros

- Never a boring day, as you're working across multiple events, no two days will ever be the same - Extensive training - at my last job I wasn't really given any support so I really valued this, and the training/learning doesn't stop after a few months. We are constantly being trained on the latest new technologies, practices, etc. to ensure we're as efficient and effective as possible - Lots of opportunity for growth through marketing mentoring programmes, a women in business event (which also has a separate mentoring programme), and check-ins with your manager so that you can discuss what your goals are, and how they can help you achieve them, e.g. get a promotion, or create an entirely new role you think the company is missing out on - The chance to go abroad to help deliver on-site events - I just recently came back from an event in Amsterdam and it was really rewarding seeing all the hard work pay off -Genuinely just a nice place to work - I've been at IQPC for a year now and everyone is really nice, welcoming, and working together towards the same goals so collaboration across the company is really high -Bonus schemes and commission schemes so you can make more on top of your basic salary. -Company drinks at the end of every month where the MD will do a short speech on how the business is doing, and shout out any individuals who stood out for the month which is really nice in terms of feeling appreciated and not just another cog in the machine - you are recognised and appreciated for your work -Company plans, e.g. with MediCash an app that lets you claim money back on certain things like Dentist Appointments, Dental Injury, Prescriptions, etc.

Cons

- Very fast paced type of job - there is always something to be done, and constant deadlines to meet so it can be stressful depending on the type of person you are (although your manager is always there to listen and help you out if you feel it's getting overwhelming) - You can potentially make more money in other companies

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.
