I'll make it short and sweet, as much of what has been said is exactly what takes place @ IQPC. I was told that my last day was the day they asked me to leave. Though my employment @ IQPC was short, I learned more than I expected about how a company shouldn't be run. There is no company identity, instead just dozens of "teams" producing mediocre events. Former attendees of these events rarely return because they share how "underwhelmed" their time was and how over charged they were. After attending an event during the early weeks of training, I see witnessed the lack of quality in the events. There is no transparency in upper management, only numbers. There is no real mission, message or value. The message sent across is numbers matter most, employee happiness last. Not a single person is actually happy on the job, but they do the work and continue to spin the wheel. This is probably why people rarely reach their KPIs/MBOs because they know the payout isn't worth it. These are largely based off of getting people to answer your cold calls in hopes that this will result in a “lead” turned active revenue for the company. Many hours are wasted on LinkedIn outreach, so be prepared to add 500 new contacts, harass them via LinkedIn message just to have them tell you how they will not promote IQPC’s events. The environment is dark, crowded and there is no break room, just a dirty prep kitchen that people go in and out to get their daily FREE IQPC coffee (which is also low budget and tastes like dirt). Overall, my time @ IQPC was short, and for good reason. My manager releasing me of a lousy job, was probably the best thing that happened to me. I know that from here, I can ONLY go up, be treated better and learn transferrable skills from a lean and agile company. Additionally: HR is a single-handed show The benefits package isn’t great Stock options don’t matter

Avantages

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!

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

• “Entrepreneurial” culture: There’s freedom to build things from scratch — because structure, resources, and documentation are often missing. • Fast-paced environment: You’ll never run out of work — projects move quickly, priorities shift constantly, and there’s always something “urgent.” • Exposure to multiple roles: You’ll gain experience across marketing, design, and operations because you’ll likely be doing the work of several people. • Opportunities for visibility: You’ll interact with senior leaders often — usually to present metrics, justify results, or explain shortfalls. • Room to grow: If you can handle the pace and ambiguity, you’ll come out of it with resilience, versatility, and an extremely high tolerance for stress.

Inconvénients

• Micromanaged yet directionless — leadership demands outcomes but shifts strategy frequently. • High-output, low-recognition — performance is expected but rarely appreciated. • Reactive over proactive — scrambling to meet deadlines over long-term planning. • Emotionally underdeveloped — limited empathy, communication, or genuine support.
