Avoid if you can

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

Decent coworkers and some flexibility in schedule

Cons

Management cares nothing about the employees Management doesn't care about quality, only profit margin Training is almost none existent Management plays favorites and punishes people they don't like regardless of your work efforts. They only pay 1 to 2% raises every year regardless of work performance Healthcare plans have gotten worse over time with less benefits and higher out of pocket costs. No work/life balance
