Pros

Best in class health and insurance benefits. Great working environment. Well defined culture and work processes.

Cons

Getting more process-oriented in recent years; losing some of the freedom and creativity along with it. Chances of upward mobility seems limited. You must be willing to switch functions for a all-rounded career within the firm rather than developing in your own specialized function.

Pros

Average pay. Office facilities good but does did constitute employee perk ? Large international company with global offices and location but if transferred relocation benefits don't help much. Complex and challenging work but insufficient resources to manage workload.

Cons

Worst company I've worked for due to bullying and harassment culture that is allowed to persist. HR and senior management aware of this culture, speak about change but don't actually do anything to effect change. Perpetrators and bullies allowed to continue inappropriate behaviours as long as they continue to achieve results. Complaints or concerns raised by staff are dismissed and not taken seriously or worst still covered up. Heavy workloads due to reduction in numbers. My department shed 20% staff in 2008 during GFC. Not allowed to increase after this period even when commodity pricing and profits high. Now when prices and profits have come down again, further reductions yet again. Remaining staff shouldering larger workload yet again.

Pros

Great global opportunities. Above average pay and benefits.

Cons

With great pay comes expectations to work more hours. Job performance process does not reward individual high achievers but is an average for team and department. Mining operations tend to be micro managers. Turnover is low and may result in stagnant growth opportunities for new employees.
