Pros

I've worked for IQPC for 5 years now, both in Europe and the US. My personal experience has been very positive, having had the opportunity to learn about and work across multiple industries, interact on a high level with senior executives and be a part of several fast growing business units. The environment in the New York office is entrepreneurial and fast paced, which could be very empowering for self-starter types, but could be challenging if you are not ambitious about your career, determined to achieve your goals or unwilling to put in the time to learn your craft and improve your skills. Overall, folks who are motivated, bright and open to learn do very well here, and end up launching great careers, earning very well and enjoying job satisfaction and personal growth.

Cons

A bit of a competitive landscape if you are interviewing for an SDR job - recent grads are welcomed but it's not always easy to receive a job offer. Important to have realistic expectations - earning potential is very high but will in large part depend directly on your performance and variable compensation. Having said that, the New York office produces some of the best-regarded products and events in the North American market, so if you do get the job and invest in your personal development you will have a supportive environment in which to learn your craft and excel.

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.
