Business Outlook

Pros

Pro's specific to BHPBilliton in Perth, pay and location, very little else.

Cons

So disorganised it's beyond belief. Too many office staff running off to site each week to try to justify themselves. Too top heavy. Minefield of politics. Very little foresight, they've been the fat cat on the block for too long and lost sight of the competition until it was too late. Too many managers/supervisors working to their own agenda and disconnected from the teams. Don't what-ever you do speak out, it's not well received, no opinions allowed, you will be dealt with.

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits and compensation above average. Well defined processes and policies, however can lead to bureaucracy at times. Nice office environment with great facilities. Staff generally high calibre and ambitious.

Cons

Culture can be regarded as aggressive where results come first at expense of employee health, safety and work life balance. Over emphasis on mistakes and errors over things that go well. Managers don't hesitate to contact staff after hours even for trivial matters that can wait until next work day. Certain parts of company are dysfunctional where team culture non existent as employees too focused on individual accolades.
