Pros

With the amount of work they expect you to do, you can be assured that you will get exposed to a variety of different things.

Cons

At Intertek there is no leadership. Just a bunch of people claiming to try and make a positive work culture. More time and effort is wasted talking about training and development of its employees, but little to no action is taken. Everything is on a 30-day cycle to try and hit monthly numbers. When numbers are not hit, management goes into instant freak out mode and any semblance of a strategy they may have had goes out the window. Part of the reason they struggle to hit numbers is the ridiculous amount of turnover that Intertek has. It doesn't seem to matter what part of the business you're in, it is a revolving door of talent in and talent out. Most of those who stay are people who have given up or can't make it anywhere else.

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.
