Pros

Good culture on the shop floor

Cons

Upper management a bit out of touch and cliquey. A lot of generalists and not many experts.

Pros

If you like a large company where you can just sink into the background, do nothing until they make you redundant, this is the place

Cons

Where to start. It's a toxic place to work, where the incentive scheme is designed to pit co-workers against each other. 25% of the work force MUST lose 25% of their bonus each year, it's mandated. So in a small team people literally set each other up to avoid being in the bottom 25%. Constant restructures, you never know who or what is going to happen. All people can do is suck up to whoever they think will protect their job. It's also a DEI workplace, they're gone full potato on it. There's just no hope if you aren't a minority of some kind. All of this of course is why they've ended up as one of the worst performing miners, unable to manage costs or deliver projects. So to sum it up, they are the kind of company that make statements like "people are at the heart of what we do" while sacking experienced staff who didn't kiss the right backside and cutting bonuses
