Pros
The people and management are genuinely great. A few bad eggs, as with everywhere, but on the whole the management care and the people are kind. As an events company, the socials are also good and plentiful. The work life balance is good in Marketing, and the pressure to meet targets wasn’t as bad as other reviews have made out (although I can’t speak for the DS/Spex teams who I imagine would be under more pressure). Despite being a large company, you had opportunities and flexibility to try new things, learn new skills and make the most of new opportunities.
Cons
Lack of progress for content, which is also the only team that doesn’t get profit share. Content is a small part of IQPC Exchange, it is an events company first and foremost, and the job can feel unrewarding as your work is based on downloads/conversions, which is difficult in a time where no one wants to fill in a form anymore to access content. It was hard to feel like I contributed anything to the events. The work can get mundane/feel pointless but that could be due to me disliking office work and WFH.
