Pros

Met some good people; but other than that most of the management team is ridiculous and they turn-over employees very quickly. You get a week off between Christmas & New Years.

Cons

The management team makes such crazy decisions and choices that makes you wonder if they are trying to sink their own ship. The individuals that do hold the ear of the Managing Director are those that sit around doing nothing all day long. The sales team is weak as it is led by weak managers and the Management Team try to find scapegoats and excuses for poor sales efforts and bad products on all sides except where it matters. Employee turnover is extremely high. They don't pay overtime. The demand much and reward little.

Thank you for your review. We can say that IQPC is not a sinking ship, but quite possibly the opposite as it's growing on all sides. With growth, comes growing pains, which we admit happen, however, we have some amazing people working within the organization that are committed to improving it day after day. To call the management team lazy is incredibly unfair as you most likely weren't exposed to their day to day responsibilities. We will not say that sales in this organization is easy. It's not, but it can be very rewarding for the right people and it requires hard work. We hope that, as upset as you are with this company, you find something that is better suited to your work ethic and talents. Thank you again for your feedback and best of luck in the future.

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.
