Pros

4 weeks PTO to start (prorated your first year but still reasonable)

Cons

Intertek only looks at numbers and keeps acquiring smaller businesses without putting the work or the money in to assimilate them all. This causes blocks in workflow from with technical issues coming up regularly. The acquired businesses simply slap on the “Intertek” tag and keep doing business as they have been, despite some very sketchy things in the works. Executive management turns a blind eye as long as it keeps numbers up so they can tout about their great, non-existent leadership. Redundant meetings amongst a select few are abundant. Customers are only cash cows and have reports put on the back burner since their business is already coming in. Appropriate equipment (sometimes including for safety) is all dependent on budget that is spent on things that are not necessary. Quasi-HR can be helpful but it’s really a toss up. Also, they really lowball you if they can get away with it. I understand competitive pricing but it’s insulting what they offer you and lie to your face. At least there is opportunity for growth with the number of offices available but this also depends on if management likes you or not, regardless of skills. Tons of empty promises and uninspiring tirades from upper management. If this is what you’re looking for, welcome to Intertek. Disclaimer: position may or may not include screeching manager.

Pros

The team you work with and your team.

Cons

Very financial driven to make the stock prices as high as possible. Daily, weekly, monthly view, but no longer term focus. The decisions to drive revenue and profits results are short term focus. No focus on funding employee development or continuous improvements. Like any business, we have to show growth and be profitable. Intertek takes it to the next level where those who profit from this are the executive leadership. I feel that the decisions that are being made is to increase their incentive pay.
