Pros

This is for the takeover of Professional Services Industries (PSI) by Intertek. It is in case the company rebrands and buries PSI's sorted history. This review cannot speak to the rest of Intertek, which is quite a large company

Cons

Working at one office, I have some idea why PSI, at least in my region and practice, has fallen from being a top 3 firm to not even near the top 10. They cannot retain anyone, greatly due to the unprofessionalism and arrogance of management. This management clearly flouts the rules that the 'lower' employees get fired for, like the no personal use of company vehicles rule. Don't be a lower level employee here. It's not very good to be a manager either, but some know who how to carve out their privileges. It's hard to believe Intertek's claims of integrity as it has reinforced PSI's culture, including the dishonesty of hiding management misconduct and 'cooking the books'. It's a good old boys club. Also believable from other reviews are the claims of sexual harassment.

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.
