Pros

They have a good share scheme

Cons

It's Unsafe to speak up, they project an image of doing the right thing but do the opposite. BHP has a warped view that anyone can do anything at the moment and you don't have to have any experience in the type of work and teams that you manage as long as you follow BHP process. Since they adopted this attitude I have seen qualified staff miss out on leadership job opportunities to then see the job go to the unqualified and experienced staff, who have then employed unqualified unskilled staff that end up in being injured in the line of fire. it is a ticking time bomb until there is a fatal accident

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay and benefits. Flex work, 9/80 Fridays $5 lunch. work from home. Some good projects and possible international projects Diverse workforce/ Not too demanding - operate at 80% or less capacity. No stress - except the reorgs

Cons

Reorg hell. Constant reorgs. New CEO/ CIO major changes all way down to lowest person in org. Limited career development. Limited advancement. US has 2 offices (Houston and small 20 person office in Tucson). Expat assignments extremely rare. HR is a bot. Reorgs provide little to no benefits - except only way to promote, demote and remove. If your just starting your career - not best place for growth. Not so much as a con but is an Aussie company so Aussie culture - do your research on this to find our more.
