Pretty much everything else is a con. Engineers who want to take the managerial route become team leads in a couple of years without gaining sufficient knowledge or technical expertise. Naturally, that creates chaos because now that they are the “leads,” they push everyone below them to meet their forecasts in order to secure their own positions. They like to sound bossy but avoid taking responsibility when it comes to resolving conflicts with clients. The engineers are the ones who actually keep the ball rolling here at Intertek. I would suggest finding a job elsewhere unless you’re unemployed right out of school and just need a paycheck which is still minimal considering the stress and pressure you’ll have to deal with.
