Pros

20 days PTO per year. Slightly flexible hours. Some team building events.

Cons

Management creates stressful environment with unnecessary deadlines. Many engineers expected to be 80-90% efficient while compensating for insufficient support staff. Clients are often difficult to work with. Low pay, high work load.

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.
