Great company & people - fast culture provides opportunity & challenges
Pros
Intertek overall is a terrific company with great people. Working out of the U.S., I don't have interaction with headquarters in the U.K. This independence (which is the norm) provides a great deal of opportunity, as does a leadership structure which is constantly evolving. This is a good company for self-starters and those who want to impact change, given the opportunities and the very fast pace.
Cons
The flipside of decentralized leadership is that communication is often a challenge, including within the U.S. and its multiple divisions, as well as between different divisions and functions. This company is probably not a good fit for those uncomfortable with ambiguity and consistently evolving structure, and is certainly not a good fit for those looking for a slow pace.
