Pros

Great work and family balance. I worked with a great team of artists. The projects were great and the other departments that I worked with were very understanding and will to educate so you could get your job done.

Cons

Not knowing anything about the mining industry it is a big wave length, years of plenty and years of famine. It was because of the lean years that my position was downsized. I really don't have anything bad to say about the company, just learn as much as you can about the mining industry to prepare yourself for the feast or famine business cycle.

Pros

The opportunity to work with people who brought innovation and set the standard for drilling world wide.

Cons

Watch as industry leaders are replaced by people with a 'fake it 'till you make it' mentality, and in turn be part of a corporation that produces failure after failure.
