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.
