Pros

I've worked at four conference companies in my career and this was by a mile the best. The company hires, for the most part, brilliant people who are driven, energetic and good at what they do. The office has a strong work hard/ play hard ethos and thanks to the company's guesting strategy you don't have those horrendous on site delivery issues like at other companies, where you have ten sponsors and even fewer delegates! For the most part the company listens to ideas from all corners and encourages small innovations. I have nothing but praise for the owner, Rick Worden, who is a brilliant CEO and supportive of his senior managers around the globe.

Cons

It is a sales environment, so it is constant high pressure and results orientated. This isn't for everyone, but typically it's the best who thrive and the worst who leave (and leave stroppy comments on glasshouse...). Can be inconsistent with on site delivery depending on current business results.

Team spirit, fair and objective management, attractive pay package, fun working environment, flexible rules

Cons

Getting many objections before finally getting a yes from a client. This is part of the job.

Pros

I was at IQPC in Sydney for 7+ years. Most recently, as part of the management team, which I feel its important to be honest about for the purposes of this review and in case it impacts your opinion of this review. I started in the business as a producer and worked - over a course of years and through many changes - to be part of the management team. I personally enjoyed my time at IQPC and have so much praise for the Sydney office, and having only recently left a lot is fresh in my mind. I've tried to be honest in terms of my appraisal of both the pros and cons to give a good overview of the business in Australia. Young enthusiastic team Quick decisions made - nimble Meritocracy - support a job well done Personal development supported Great variety of challenges and opportunities to excel New intranet to support training Great central CBD location

Cons

The same as I have been honest about the pros - I think its important to also be honest about the cons: Occasional friction between departments - needs to be resolved Office needs a refurb - time for a refresh of the space A lot of process - and sometimes (although it supports business activity) this process can be constrictive Not for the faint hearted - you'll either love it or hate it Sink or swim - again - love or hate it! Very light on company induction activity (although good in specific team induction)
