Pros

Very friendly company, can have banter with some of the management and will listen if you need to talk. Work is engaging most of the time with the ability to learn from other employees/externally if it's relevant to your role.

Cons

Limited progression. After speaking with countless employees, this is the main downfall for Intertek. Looking at other ratings, it's not site limited. Progression only happens for the few already higher up. They will prioritise people with qualifications, even if they are incompetent, lazy and have zero experience. No matter how much you take on or how much you try to prove yourself, it's always a battle to try and justify your worth. This can lead to thinking you're not as good as you are and can even result in mental health problems.

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.
