      Pros

      Benefits, above market pay. Focused on Safety. Business unit management is generally competent but are often undermined by the decisions at Rio Tinto corporate management.

      Cons

      Constant reductions, long hours, the people are made to pay for the poor decisions of management. The company has a short term versus long term focus.

      The truth about the company

      Pros

      Company benefits from Health care, employee share plans, family benefits, etc etc are all great

      Cons

      You are just a number to them, regardless of how "passionate" you feel about the company, do not be delusional about your value to the company. The time will come when your value are no longer needed for the company. Paperwork will kill you in the long run, to purchase something as simple as springs, it takes at least 3 set of paperwork before they can be ordered. Meetings takes up at least 30 min of each day It is absolutely true about the old saying "it is not what you know it is who you know" if you want to succeed in Rio.

      Pros

      Very highly regarded organisation that has a clear focus on tier one mining deposits.

      Cons

      Leadership abilities are patchy across the organisation. Your career is entirely in your hands. Don't expect anyone else to help you along the way. You might be lucky, but general advice would be that you are the only one who can make your career work for you.
