Pros

Firstly you should know that management has been writing all the positive reviews. All the negative ones are what IQPC is actually like. Nothing good about IQPC, only the location - the office itself is like from the 1920's

Cons

Where do I begin? - computers from the 1800s - ugly office - no coffee machine (I worked at a 8 people company and they had a coffee machine, IQPC is THAT cheap) - no company credit cards (you have to pay for travel and they take a month to reimburse you) - you learn nothing - no market research - no sense of team work - management is ugly both inside and outside

Pros

I've been with IQPC for the last 7 years and have enjoyed the entrepreneurial environment where success is rewarded. As a producer you truly feel like you are running your own business within a business. You get the chance to work with really creative types across operations, marketing and sales. If global opportunities are your passion, this is a company you want to check out. I've been given the opportunity to work and live in many different countries throughout my time spent here.

Cons

The work environment is very fast-paced

Pros

Like many places in New York, you will find great people working with you.

Cons

Terrible management and work environment. In my first week, I saw a group of people walking out after being fired. This was something new to me and also something I became very accustomed to seeing in my time at IQPC. As a Conference Producer, you are often given event topics that have been rerun too many times, something that is a direct copy of a competitor's event, or just topically irrelevant. Unfortunately, most events are doomed to fail from their inception and all team members associated with an event are then measured on their ability to shine a turd. The turnover rate is exceptionally high which speaks to the corporate culture. It also makes it very difficult to produce anything of quality as you are constantly working with new people, often in the middle of an event launch.
