Pros

You will get chances to travel

Cons

Pretty much everything else is a con. Engineers who want to take the managerial route become team leads in a couple of years without gaining sufficient knowledge or technical expertise. Naturally, that creates chaos because now that they are the “leads,” they push everyone below them to meet their forecasts in order to secure their own positions. They like to sound bossy but avoid taking responsibility when it comes to resolving conflicts with clients. The engineers are the ones who actually keep the ball rolling here at Intertek. I would suggest finding a job elsewhere unless you’re unemployed right out of school and just need a paycheck which is still minimal considering the stress and pressure you’ll have to deal with.

Pros

Good group of people in local office.

Cons

Stuck in the past. Unwilling to consider updating methods or procedures. "We've done it this way for 30 years and it has worked." Sales relies upon project engineers to do most of their work for them. When volume of work is slow that becomes the engineers responsibility to go find new clients. Can't reliably pay the most basic of utility bills on time. I've seen the power cut off 2x and the gas this past winter.
