      Be aware! Horrible Culture........

      Pros

      The value to society by having third-party companies like Intertek test manufacturers products to ensure they are safe for consumers. UL and TUV do a much better job at this than Intertek does. Intertek cuts corners and is always looking for ways to cut costs vs. delivering a superior service.

      Cons

      The lack of leadership at the executive level is horrible. They consistently make quick immature decisions and have no clear path on a long term direction. Executive leadership does not value their employees or customers. It is all about turning a buck every 30 days. This has created a horrible culture to work in and continues to get worse each year.

      Really a shame to see a great set of resources & great people - relegated to a primary focus on revenue production.

      Pros

      Benefits on par with most major global entities of equal or higher caliber. Name recognition (now) a benefit in that global entities have at least heard of Intertek - when previously we were largely known by the names of those entities we had acquired.

      Cons

      Where to begin? Incessant focus on revenue production & company stock value provides no room for strategic business management at the business unit level. Annual 'cost crunch' as a reaction to cyclical revenue shortages are used to reduce cost in order to bolster earnings. Frustratingly short-sighted view of human resources. Here's a tip - instead of firing 10% of staff annually only to replace them later - why not reduce overall Lab capacity but shutting down a few labs that perennially cannot produce revenue at an acceptable level? The idea of a local resource as having more value to a client than having an experienced, competent and loyal perhaps a longer distance from the client? Hmmm - local, inexperienced & gun-shy or regional, experienced & expert? Culturally devoid of any characteristic that could be seen as a positive or admirable personal attribute. NOTE: Look at the CISCO commitment to values & learn what success is rooted in.
