Pros

There are incredibly talented and dedicated people across the organization who genuinely care about safety, inclusion, and doing meaningful work. The company’s values are well-articulated, and when leadership is aligned, you can see real collaboration and impact. Compensation and benefits are strong, and there is opportunity to work on global initiatives with exposure to senior leaders.

Cons

Frequent restructuring and leadership changes make it difficult to feel secure or see a clear career path. Decision-making can be slow and inconsistent, with communication often filtered or delayed through layers of hierarchy. While there are ongoing efforts to improve culture and employee experience, progress can feel uneven and overshadowed by constant organizational shifts.

Pros

Good Benefits and great pay, pension, 6% 401k match

Cons

Newmont has gone through 5 layoffs in 5 years. The most recent is currently ongoing with an estimated 3000 people globally being let go. The last layoff ended in April and employees were told that it would be the last one for awhile. This layoff was announced in August, so 4 months is all they went without starting another one. The employees don't trust the company anymore because of the repeated lies about layoffs. Newmont says they aren't making money with gold at record highs yet they are building all new offices in Australia and Costa Rica that are state of the art. If you have the choice go somewhere else. The other big issue is that no one in management takes harassment or retaliation seriously. Even when it's a Senior Manager harassing their employees (me). I went to HR and the managers boss, everyone swept it under the rug. The manager then retaliated against me for going to HR, I brought that up to HR and was told "no he is allowed to say what he wants and pull you from any task for any reason".
