Pros

I've been working at IQPC for 3 years in the production function, across multiple teams in the business. I'm currently working as a Senior Conference Producer for the Defence iQ division, working on stage 1 and large scale events from 200 to 500 attendees. Within my 3 years at IQPC I've received support from and exposure to many senior leaders in the business to help define my career path as I progress in my role. I have had the opportunity to take part in two levels of the Management Development Programme, led by external partners, giving me the opportunity to meet with other people in the business that I would not necessarily interact with, and exposing me to new ideas and concepts outside of my day to day role. IQPC also has a great mentoring programme, focused specifically on developing my leadership skills and increasing self-confidence to help me hone in on skills needed for my future progression at the company. IQPC also offer extensive employee benefits, including access to a Medicash health benefits service, which has been great to support with everyday medical costs like dentist and opticians!

Cons

The production function of IQPC is very fast pace, and you are thrown into the deep end on your first day of work. If you prefer a slower onboarding process, this might not be the best environment for you. IQPC is a big company, so you won't necessarily get to know everyone in the business. However, there are plenty of opportunity to network internally and get connected to the right people!

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.
