Good company with a flawed talent culture

Pros

Good Pay. Good Corporate Brand. Good work life balance. Solid physical assets. Very nice offices. Well developed standardised processes, which are designed to be idiot-proof. Good place to work for many years if one is an average performer.

Cons

Opportunities and promotions are awarded based on relationship, rather than skillset and capability. End result is high incidence of overpaid, mediocre individuals in leadership roles. Hurts morale of high performing staff.

Pros

BHP Billiton has a talented, smart workforce. They hire the best and the brightest. Their projects, globally, are world-class and challenging.

Cons

The company continually hires outside talent instead of promoting from within -- discouraging to those who have earned the possibility of promotion.
