Pros

Good Compensation, Medical Benefits and Leave Policy

Cons

Effective 19th August, they have fired their entire Procurement Team and Logistic team citing the same old reason of change in strategy and moving resources closer to assets. Every year, they run a redundancy program. The retrenchments are neither performance related nor Covid induced. It is just a decision taken by bosses in London and Brisbane , and your career is gone. If you are contemplating joining the company, do it at your own peril. There is every chance , that within an year you would be out of work.

Pros

Local environment is very friendly and laid back. Everyone is helpful. The benefit package is nice as well. We do get the option to purchase company shares, 100% company match up to 6% for 401k plus additional deposits.

Cons

Our company was recently purchased by Rio Tinto and their IT groups are very secular and specialized which makes it hard to communicate and get things resolved. I’ve also compared my salary to others with the same job title within manufacturing companies in my state and found my salary is way below the benchmark.
