Pros

Reasonable compensation, not industry best. You’ll make lots of new friends at Orica; people quit so often you can’t help but meet new people.

Cons

Too many to list. If you’re unemployed take the job offer and keep looking. The culture is terrible. Management is generally clueless, lacks industry experience and are advocates of favoritism. Executive management in Aus seems to spend the majority of their time trying to conceive ways to manipulate employees, suppliers and customers.
