Pros

Great team, great pay and benefits. Invested in current technologies.

Cons

Political hierarchy. Minimal advancement opportunities. Second time in seven years they have outsourced. First time was a mistake and this time does not appear to be shaping up any better.

Micromanagement and Toxicity

Pros

Good pay; talented and hard working employees.

Cons

My perspective as a former employee with a 10+ tenure, is that Newmont today is no longer the company that puts its employees first. If you're looking for a job where your every move is scrutinized and your creativity stifled, look no further than Newmont. Once you're hired, get ready to be micromanaged to the point of insanity. Every task, no matter how small or insignificant, will be scrutinized and nitpicked by your overbearing supervisors. Forget about autonomy or independent thinking - at Newmont, you're just a cog in the machine, expected to follow orders without question. But the toxicity doesn't stop there. Office gossip runs rampant, backstabbing is the norm, and a culture of fear and mistrust pervades every corner of the workplace. Management plays favorites, pitting employees against each other in a never-ending competition for approval and recognition. If you value your mental health and well-being, steer clear of Newmont.Their hiring process is a nightmare, and working there is even worse. Save yourself the headache and find a company that values its employees as human beings, not mindless drones.

Pros

The team I worked with was top notch and the pay and benefits were above average.

Cons

Company sees IT as a necessary evil and decided to outsource all of it to India. This is the second time in 5 years they have done this. First time was a disaster and the second time doesn't look to be any better.
