Pros

Fun people surprisingly, considering all the cons. Lots of fun happy hour discussion about all the cons. See below for details.

Cons

This is the worst company I have ever worked for in 15 years. There is a revolving door in San Diego and in the past year they have lost the equivalent 150 years of trained talent. Multiple people leave every week. Do you want to be stressed out and work over an 8 hour day every day, without compensation? Join Intertek. Do you want to end up in the hospital with anxiety attacks? Join Intertek. Do you want to get yelled at by clients and your managers for situations that are no fault of your own? Join Intertek. Stay away from this mess of a "company" at all costs. Oh, and if you are a potential client, be warned because every timeline will be delayed and the quality of work will be abysmal.

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.
