Pros

Global organisation that it trying hard to retain employees by changing the culture from mining to becoming a global business.

Cons

There is a lack of business acumen by some senior managers as they have worked their way up the organisation and are very good miners but not so good at business. There is still a culture of command and control and the idea of risk taking and empowerment are not truly engrained.

Pros

- If you have the initiative you can take on multiple projects - Lots of personal career growth occurs when working with the "non-workers" - Good compensation particularly for multiple internships - Will likely discover you don't want to work for Newmont before it's too late

Cons

- 1/3 of the workforce calls themselves "the nonworkers" because they litterally avoid doing any work. They will try to prevent you from getting your work done and will do everything possible to make your internship hell. Possibly succeeding. - If you don't take the initiative you can spend your entire grinding rocks or worse absolutely nothing - Projects frequently are not valuable and are a mutual waste of time - Very disorganized intern program - Willingness to lose millions of dollars instead of spending thousands of dollars on chemical products
