I'm sorry to hear that your experience with the company was not a positive one, and I thank you for taking the time to vent your frustrations anonymously. I won't deny that we do place high expectations on our employees, and there are employees who are unable to rise to meet those challenges. I'm terribly sorry if that was your situation.
That said, there are many employees who have achieved a great deal of personal and professional success with IQPC; we offer tremendous opportunities for career growth and personal development for those who are willing to take advantage of those opportunities.
I wish that you addressed your concerns about a lack of professionalism and inappropriate language before leaving the company rather than posting an anonymous review to air your grievances. Nothing you stated has been my experience and does not speak to the culture we are trying to foster. Your concerns would have been heard and dealt with had you come to me us with specific examples.
At any rate I hope that you find a role that it a better match for your skills and wish you success in your career.
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.

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.
