Pros

Not many these days. They used to be a good company to work for but their senior leadership is badly out of touch with what's going on with the business.

Cons

The ability to play office politics is now a required skill at Rio Tinto. Most senior leaders survive because they say yes to their leaders. If you work hard and commit to the company it will count for nothing when the cutbacks occur. If you have an issue you have to ring a call centre in Manilla and listen to some one read a script to you, with an American accent.

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
