Pros

The benefits are extremely good, which makes it difficult for employees to leave, even when there is nothing left for them to do and nowhere for them to go career-wise.

Cons

There are WAY too many senior executives - and they continue to hire more. That could be a result of the existing executives being extremely poor at running the company. However, hiring more is not the solution, cleaning house is the solution. The mining industry is on the decline, so there is less and less work for the employees to do, so the company is WAY over staffed for the work to be done. That also means there is little to no career path for those that remain.

Pros

There are always interesting projects and opportunities to learn and grow on the job. The workforce is highly intelligent, and they care. We put out quality, leading edge work in many spaces

Cons

The Board of Directors and Executive Team are twitchy - the tides of where to head seem to change frequently (~18 months). We've done layoffs around the world for the past 3 years. We have a hierarchical culture that looks for senior advice and go-ahead, unfortunately, with a fair amount of fear underneath of it.

Pros

Great pay, great benefits, great PTO, 9/80 work schedule Some people are really decent, hard working, smart people

Cons

-Too many organizational structure changes. -Communication could be better between groups and just in general. -The layoffs have been rough for some people. Mostly for the hard working people. These are the people that have the potential to move forward in their careers and accomplish great things at this company. Unfortunately, some of these hard working people are the ones that will probably leave to do exactly that, because they're so bogged down with other work that they can barely do the jobs that they were hired to do. It's fine to do this for a while, but when there's no light at the end of the tunnel, people will eventually leave. On the other hand, these significant layoffs did not scare the slackers enough to actually change their ways, and they're allowed to get away with it which leads me to my advice...
