      Pros

      Interesting and engaging business environment. Very large company with locations throughout the world. When times are good you can do very well.

      Cons

      Currently in a down cycle and it's a very tough place to work. Jobs are being outsourced to low skilled and low paying countries, salary freezes, intense pressure on cost savings, layoffs. Many of the locations are in very remote environments and not desirable. Stress is at an all time high.

      Pros

      Very good pay and benefits, focused on safety, world-wide company,many locations. Great people and a lot of history which made it fun.

      Cons

      Rio Tinto is currently trying to cut costs and appears to not have a good idea of just how to do it. They appear to be making a lot of knee-jerk reactions there is a lot of re-organization and layoffs happening. My position was one of those eliminated positions, I understand the need to cut costs but some sites will begin to suffer with lack of support from the global monster that is RioTinto.
