Pros
Excellent opportunities for training and development, with personalised IDPs for all team members. IQPC prides itself on being a meritocracy; those who work hard to deliver results and who demonstrate the company’s values will flourish. This is a great place to work, whatever level you are at. Whilst IQPC is particularly strong at bringing in fresh graduates and training them to a really high standard, the same excellent training and development opportunities are available to those joining at a more experienced level. Those who are hungry for growth and learning will succeed. The people at IQPC make it one of the best places to work. It’s great to work with such passionate, hardworking (and fun!) individuals. It’s a relatively ‘flat’ organisation with limited red tape, so ownership is given to team members and there is a great opportunity to test and try new things (particularly speaking from a marketing perspective).
Cons
The pace isn’t for everyone; as with most conference companies it is a very fast paced environment. There is a very strong focus on targets and revenue (which I actually like), but this can be quite ‘marmite’ – you either love it or hate it. The benefits could be better, although the UK HR/senior management team are working on improving this recently. More of the same please!
