Pros

Easy to get a job. They'll leave you along if you keep doing what the managers wants - and that changes every day / week / month until a new manager comes. The cycle restarts with the new manager arrival.

Cons

Company doesn't care about ANY employee and holds vendetta against you - if you don't toe the line or leave to go to a competitor. Your opinion doesn't matter. Your engineering logic doesn't matter. You are just a number. You are actually worth less to company as you get more experience. Turnover is ridiculously high. My Intertek co-workers hated working here and ex co-workers are happy about leaving and the only regret is not leaving sooner.

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.
