Kind of a sh*t show

Pros

- Fantastic office space and views - Only gold company in the S&P 500 - $1,000 per year health and wellness stipend

Cons

- Weak middle management: Some managers lack effective leadership skills, and concerns raised about them often go unaddressed. There’s a culture of rewarding sycophancy over true leadership or collaboration, which discourages honest feedback and accountability - Limited career progression on some teams - Internal politics can be more important than actual impact - Desk reservation system makes it hard to really meet and get to know others at the company since no one sits at the same place on a given day

Pros

Global portfolio and project variety. Great at moving rocks.

Cons

Low priority on exploration and long term vision. Little geoscience representation at most senior levels. Bureaucracy and politics made worse by M&As. Disorganized supply chain, a lawyer at every water cooler, and terrible HR. Low to median salaries for geoscience specialists. Poor work life balance.
