Pros

BHPB has a solid remuneration structure by market comparison with a well developed range of options for a graduate looking to diversify their experience in the industry via a range of positions. Generally work is narrow- focused around core activities, with communication and collaboration with broader range internal stakeholders a fairly important component of the working environment.Annual leave allowances are excellent.

Cons

Bureaucracy and process reflects the current trends and management cultural fads of the time. Expect innovations and creative solutions to require a large amount of effort to gain momentum: new ideas are implemented by new management almost exclusively. Promotion or experience opportunities need to be actively and aggressively perused despite espoused personal development procedures (the opportunities are there but you are required to drive it almost exclusively). Productivity initiatives focus almost exclusively focus on hours at work rather than hours worked.

Pros

Solid salary, bonus (20-30% by level), 401k (14.5% match). Great cafeteria that's subsidized at $2/day. Fantastic Christmas party. Organization is very flat. High exposure to senior and c-level management. I found the quality of fellow analysts to be very high.

Cons

Awful middle management within finance. A house cleaning at this level is sorely needed. Management doesn't listen to feedback particularly related to work load. Our team has been cut a lot the past 2 years while work requirements have increased. Mixed signals are given on career path. Systems are pretty awful as they've forced petroleum to match mining which allows little to no flexibility in designing reporting that works well. It takes huge amounts of systems time to get back the data you need. Title system is very strange and reflects Australian naming conventions.
