Pros
Large endowment - long mine life Good pay and benefits
Cons
Not the worst place that I have ever worked in 44 years in the market, but by far, the most dysfunctional organization I have been involved with. Barrick/Nevada Gold Mines is/are nothing like what they advertise themselves to be in the recruiting and on-boarding process. Complete chaos. All talk and no action. Management stifles and pushes out producers/innovators in order to protect the legacy positive image they have built for themselves amidst decades of counter productivity and B.S. Absolutely full of crap. This company was going bankrupt until they found a company with cash flow to bail them out. It will only get worse, as the company they let take them over is bringing an African continent mining culture to Northern Nevada that just will not fly on this continent. Look for continued extreme turnover, and also a mini exodus to occur after yearly bonuses are paid in March (bonuses dramatically decrease in 2020 for many). Anglo Gold Ashanti tried and failed previously with the negative African mining culture on this continent. Took them 8-10 years to fail. Hopefully it won't be as many miserable years for the employees at Barrick/Nevada Gold Mines for them to see Rand and their institutionalized authoritarian hostility fail. The silver lining is that Newmont is right there to pick out all the gold and good people from the ashes of Barrick's failure.
