Vantaggi

Dress down Fridays Close to Victoria station Lots of nice eateries in the area

Svantaggi

Poor level of management, bullying and gossiping to the extreme, you won’t last long if you’re not in the ‘in’ crowd. Terrible Marketing practices including bulk mailing (spamming?) our membership to within an inch of their life. High pressure-cooker type of environment where bullying is rife and emanates from the top down! Sweatshop type environment be prepared for 10-12 hour days, to skip lunch, to be under-paid and seriously over worked! Archaic work practices, it’s virtually impossible to learn anything from management, however you can learn about industry specific information if you are an event producer. Effective communication with clients and staff is simply non-existant. Incompetent senior management are combative and abusive to staff, people are treated like cattle and management are not intelligent enough to realise that communication is key to developing and maintain business relationships with staff and clients, which is Business Administration 101. Clients are burned, after sale – just terrible! High pressure-cooker type of environment where bullying is rife and emanates from the top down! Sweatshop type environment be prepared for 10-12 hour days, to skip lunch, to be under-paid and seriously over worked! I have been in business from a long time within a managerial role and I was unpleasantly surprised by some of the unscrupulous payment and work practices, I have worked in firms where they toe the line but some of the work practices at IQPC are just plain illegal! Think twice before implicating yourself!!!

Vantaggi

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!

Svantaggi

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.

Vantaggi

people were nice enough to work with

Svantaggi

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.
