Pros

Reasonable compensation, not industry best. You’ll make lots of new friends at Orica; people quit so often you can’t help but meet new people.

Cons

Too many to list. If you’re unemployed take the job offer and keep looking. The culture is terrible. Management is generally clueless, lacks industry experience and are advocates of favoritism. Executive management in Aus seems to spend the majority of their time trying to conceive ways to manipulate employees, suppliers and customers.

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.
