Pros

Good performing company with lots of opportunities, both here and globally. Growing despite the slow economy. Orica has a good culture, particularly around safety. The pace of change is quick and this creates lots of opportunites to advance. It is always good to work for a global market leader.

Cons

The mining industry is fairly conservative and Orica reflects this, meaning that it is not as entrenpenuerial as it could be. Historically there has been a real old boys club in the US business. This is being broken down however a lot these "old boys" create a lot of negative sentiment.

Pros

Global leader in segment, safety procedures, and values.

Cons

Recently top management is obsessed with generating profits by cutting headcount, leading to higher workloads, and then they talk about mental wellbeing. In 2026 the strategy is only to generate profits, even if it means we risk our own sales.
