Pros

BHP Billiton has a talented, smart workforce. They hire the best and the brightest. Their projects, globally, are world-class and challenging.

Cons

The company continually hires outside talent instead of promoting from within -- discouraging to those who have earned the possibility of promotion.

Pros

Great benefits, great people. Management seems to genuinely care for employees, but are bound by corporate policies on what they can say or do for employees in terms of compensation and benefits, as well as communicating change to the organization. Great operations management and people that are concerned with safety and people.

Cons

Corporate policies are designed for large operations, which didn't fit well with the size of the New Mexico asset. Did not have flexibility to use systems outside of what was designed by Corporate IS. Hire the "best of the best" to do jobs that may have little challenge, which leaves little to no room for advancement upward in the local organization as everyone has an impressive skill set, and not a lot of opportunity to show off that skill set except in special projects for which there is little reward.
