Pros

PTO and competitive pay, some of the people, you can get a lot of experience in a short amount of time

Cons

*Company does not care about their employees (The negative reviews on Glassdoor are not exaggerated) *Company does not invest in their employees (No career development) *If you are lucky to get a raise it is no more than 1% *No true performance reviews *Poor communication from upper managements, between team members or across business lines *Layoffs every 6 months - The employees that keep their jobs will be assigned the responsibilities of the departed employees *Shear chaos internally *Management is not qualified in most cases *Success at Intertek is not based on job performance. It is based on brown nosing *Colleagues take credit for the work of others *The reporting is reflective of the movie Office Space where Intertech requires TPS reports all the time. *There is no collaboration within teams or across business lines *Quality is the last thing Intertek focuses on. It is all about how fast and how much you can do. *Andre is only focused on increasing the stock price and selling the idea that Intertek is doing well to shareholders

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.
