BHP ---- still a good place to work

Business Outlook

Pros

Strong supportive culture, great data, modern work environment; safe to speak up culture

Cons

Constant uncertainty, layoffs, mergers - last 4 years have been incredibly disruptive. Limited risk taking. Large clunky mining company trying to compete in petroleum space. Bogged down in process, oversight. All decision making stays at the top. Gender is explicitly used in hiring and firing as the company strives to meet its 50:50 equality goals in all roles.
