Rio Tinto reviews

PPO insurance is $500 a month for hourly, salary pays less. Salary is trained to not listen or trust hourly employees, also to treat hourly like they are uneducated and stupid. They hire foreign engineers from India on H1B Visas, they have no clue about American culture and do not communicate well. Salary spend most of their time is in worthless meetings and have no idea how the plant runs and operates. They hire salary employees with no experience in the actual trades they are managing. They keep cutting hourly employees and the plant is falling apart.

- Company used to be great but due to cost cutting they are outsourcing and offshoring roles away from Brisbane with outsourcing going to a single partner (Accenture) and permanent roles being moved offshore to Singapore, the US and Canada - As a result a lot of "good people" (to quote Rio Tinto) have left the business and this will only continue - Anyone who joins IS&T in Brisbane must consider their role at threat to be offshored as there is an active approach of moving resources offshore - The pace is frenetic. Friends who still work there are exhausted as they work harder to compensate for the extra work generated by the outsourcing and offshoring - Morale is atrocious and people are just waiting for their redundancy package.
