Intertek reviews

There is far too much focus on getting as much money in for the minimum amount of overheads, I know that's how business works but Intertek take it to extremes. Examples include lack of investment in equipment making jobs take longer. Pushing unrealistic targets onto middle management who then push them onto low level staff, often resulting in stress and unpaid overtime. Lack of development opportunities, you are there to work and not to grow, and as a result the career progression isn't good. Low pay, equivalent positions for other companies will pay significantly more. There is a much stronger focus on hiring new staff than ensuring the existing staff are happy to stay. I get the suspicion that hiring and training new staff to replace those that are leaving is costing more than it would to make changes to stop the staff from leaving.

You will spend many hours working with no recognition. you constantly get belittled by the management, your project reviewer, sales people, and customers. so the only thing to do to try to please them is work longer to try to finish everything quicker. Management is never happy with the billing numbers and always pushes for more to make it seem that all they care about is revenue which shows in the quality of work.
