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.
