      Friendly environment but communication issues post-acquisition

      Senior it infrastructure analyst

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Local environment is very friendly and laid back. Everyone is helpful. The benefit package is nice as well. We do get the option to purchase company shares, 100% company match up to 6% for 401k plus additional deposits.

      Cons

      Our company was recently purchased by Rio Tinto and their IT groups are very secular and specialized which makes it hard to communicate and get things resolved. I’ve also compared my salary to others with the same job title within manufacturing companies in my state and found my salary is way below the benchmark.

      Great company - unpopular industry

      Senior manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      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
