Pros

Well established Project Management Framework and Project Control Systems Good use of SAP for the Procure to Pay process

Cons

Things start to go sour when the iron ore prices started to drop and they started shutting down mines and cutting projects. There were too many contractors and staff when there were simply not enough active projects to work with. The lack of workload resulted in people pretending to be busy or feeling dissatisfied and unmotivated at work. It was a bad decision for management to keep the overpaid contractors on for too long while the permanent employees are running out of things to do in the office and feeling frustrated.

Pros

Great pay, Benefits, and challenging work. Work life balance is pretty good unless you are a manager. $2 lunches can't be beat. The micor managing culture is slowly fading away but there is a long way to go

Cons

Company seems to have no real direction for where it wants to go. Very little success has been achieved in exploration to bring in new reserves. Management is too risk adversive and not willing to take chances on smaller plays. Only seem interested in the next big thing instead of stringing together moderate successes. Overly process oriented which prevents being a first mover into areas and finding the next big thing.
