Pros

I had great opportunities to work with many smart people from various departments and levels, and I had a good salary and benefit overall. I liked their safety culture. We started our meetings with a discussion about safety, which is a good idea for any industries. Especially on Friday, if you need to commute for a long distance, you are allowed to work from home and you are encouraged to use public transportation, as they place high value on environmental protection.

Cons

I think it is very unfortunate that they had to lay off so many good employees.

Pros

Benefits are fantastic, employee share program, inexpensive insurance options with generous HSA contributions ($3000 per year), ample opportunities for career growth for those willing to relocate (internationally sometimes)

Cons

Mining is cyclic, layoffs are always a looming threat, depending on role 50-60 hr work week is common
