Intertech (Minnesota)

1. Stimulating, Project-Based Work.

An Intertech consultant has work that is new, stimulating and, in the end, improves their skills.

Because our instructors teach the newest technologies, our consultants consult in the newest technologies. Intertech consultants are leaders in the field, and our clients know it. They understand that Intertech professionals work on the latest technologies while bringing years of proven experience to every project.

2. Clear Expectations for Intertech Consultants.

Intertech consultants know what is expected of them and have a clear definition of performance.

As an Intertech consultant, you have two clear objectives: (1) utilization and (2) education. First, your utilization goal and utilization-related bonus is structured so that you know exactly what the company expects before the year begins. These goals, when met, and combined with Intertechʼs outlined Profit Participation Plan (PPP), provide a clear path to realizing up to an additional 10% of your salary in bonus. In conjunction with your utilization objectives, Intertech has a defined policy that pays overtime against billable hours that exceed the standard 40-hour work week. Secondly, when you leverage our world-class training program, your education goal is clearly structured to provide you the opportunity to finish the year stronger than you began.

3. Fair Reward, Recognition, And Workplace Benefits.

Intertech employees receive a solid compensation package, and recognition for a job well done. In addition, Intertech consultants receive:

• A year-end bonus tied to utilization
• A bonus through Intertechʼs PPP (Profit Participation Plan)
• Overtime for hours billable to a client
• Paid Vacation
• For consultants, when between assignments, the ability to take vacation and not have 100% of the hours taken go against vacation balance
• Sabbatical (3 months of vacation for every 7 years of service)
• Internal recognition through a colleague acknowledgment program — peers recognize peers for living Intertech values — to include quarterly parties with drawings for gift cards and prizes for both nominees and nominators.
• Optionally Work 9 – 9 hour days (based on client approval)
• Casual dress at the Intertech office 5 days a week.

In addition, Intertech has 14 times made the Minneapolis St. Paul Business Journalʼs list of “Best Places to Work.”

4. Communication.

Intertech professionals stay connected, even in the field where it can be a challenge.

A challenge for any consultant is to stay connected in the field. At Intertech, we strive to overcome this obstacle through (A) weekly company-wide newsletters that highlight what is happening at the firm, (B) weekly huddles that utilize telecom or face-to-face gatherings to address updates and project-specific areas of concern, (C) direct lines of communication between staff and management, (D) a quarterly all company party and a (E) monthly lunch grill-out. Through these proactive formats, we maintain open communication so problems, should they arise, can be effectively handled in their initial stages. In addition, Intertech uses a corporate social network (think of it as a Facebook for Intertech employees only) to share updates, ask technical questions and get immediate help, or share thoughts on life and all things Intertech.

5. Unparalleled Learning.

Intertech professionals receive hands-on training and access to the latest research.

Fortunately, Intertech is the No. 1 software developer training company in Minnesota. Prior to new courseware being released, Intertech consultants have access to it. And because our courseware is typically released before the technology is released, Intertech consultants are out in front, keeping their skills current.

6. Explicit Career Paths.

Intertech associates know what it takes to move ahead within the organization.

All Intertech staff are elite. For those with the desire and demonstrated results, there is a clear path to becoming an Intertech Principal — a distinction that you are the best of the best and a position that is accompanied by additional rewards, to include an additional bonus plan, premium participation in Intertech’s EPP, and invitations to exclusive events.

7. An Inclusive Culture.

Intertech prides itself on its effort to maintain connections among the staff.

At Intertech, we’re one team. To help build relationships, we give you the opportunity to connect with other team members without being overwhelmed by events outside your normal work schedule. Weekly communication between management and the team, a summer and a winter event, along with the opportunity to volunteer through the Intertech Foundation provide a variety of ways for you to get to know others within the company.

8. Work Obstacles.

Problems are addressed early to allow you to do your best.

At Intertech, doors are open and all communication is encouraged. This allows us to deal with challenges or issues as soon as possible. From weekly huddles to surveys, we want input that assures that Intertech’s culture is one each member is proud to call their own.

9. Senior Management.

Intertech leaders are trusted members of the team.

At Intertech, we let results speak for themselves. Recognized with more than a dozen awards for growth and best practices, Intertech leaders continue to guide the company to new heights. Our leadership elite includes members who have held director positions at large companies, entrepreneurs who have experienced success on their own, and technical executives who publish and speak nationally.

10. Confidence in Firm.

Intertech is sustainable and financially sound, and will be around tomorrow.

Beginning in 1991, Intertech has continued to prove itself over the test of time as it records year-after-year growth and increasing profitability.
