Pros

Company welfare is relatively good as compared to competitor. They offered medication welfare, dental welfare, performance bonus,13th month bonus (pro-rated if you did not complete full calendar year), transport allowance if you need to work overtime and various incentive if your entity are performed well. 21 days annual leaves for management and executive level and 14 annual leave for non-executive level. The initial salary package might be a bit lower than market expectation. However, if you are request for better salary package and it is reasonable, they are still willing to give. Overall, salary package is relatively okay.

Cons

The softline division Intertek is extremely hard working . Please expect to work on (close to all) weekday night and (some) weekend. Employees are putting their best effort to finish all the tasks. If you are executive or above, you are still expected to work overtime on weekday and weekend without overtime pay. The technical knowledge of the team is lower than average. The quality system is less systematic. Making improvement requires plenty of efforts as veteran management is conservative. To work effectively in this division, you should blend into the company culture and work on what the company expects you to do with great precaution. You need to think whether the particular task is positively contributed to society before executing it. Employees are conservative and protective. Be mindful and be considerate when working there. Enjoy the challenges and work to your best is my philosophy in Intertek Softline

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.
