Pros

You start with 4 weeks vacation. A great job to start your career, and truly understand how corporations work.

Cons

Everything. You increase profits, and decrease loss without any praise. Merit raises not even in line with cost of living increases. The CEO is one of the top paid CEO’s, and they don’t take care of their people. They hemorrhage talent. Intertek is it’s own worst enemy, as they cannibalizes themselves to meet budget. There are some truly good people in there, but they don’t let long. The rest are stuck as they aren’t desirable at other companies or Intertek gaslights them into thinking they are worthless.

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.
