Pros

Benefits are ok. Lots of inexperience around.

Cons

Very poor morale Different rules for different people. A lot of unfairness. People are expendable. Very Very high staff turnover. Bottom line is king..equipment and furniture is ancient. Something out of the 70's. Utter disgrace...many unprofessional people work for this company. They hire the first in so they dont get bogged down with interviews and doing their job properly. Promotion by attrition. Brains go unrewarded. 9 years in the same role...opportunities extremely limited. A multinational run like a corner store..decisions made on the run and zero planning for the future at any level.

Pros

Flexible working from home options

Cons

This type of company culture and management died in the early 90’s, but Intertek is keeping it alive - old boys club, full of unqualified and insecure leaders - who work really hard at building an army of yes man and women around them, while undermining and blaming anyone that is identified as a threat and/or intelligent. Creative accounting is used heavily by leadership to appease executives - especially in the Asia Pacific region (take note shareholders). Plus, leaders regularly threaten and abuse team members, and HR ignores this conduct despite an array of evidence and complaints. The CMO is a marketing relic that is the most insecure of all the leaders. A textbook example of a traditional marketer who dismissed any form of digital marketing as a passing fad up until 3 yrs ago, and now finds a way to drop ‘digital’ into every conversation in an effort to sound relevant and to hide their incompetence. The CMO is also a big advocate for the threatening and abusive culture at Intertek (which has resulted in multiple senior managers that report to the CMO to go on long term ‘sick leave’)
