Pros

Great group of supportive people, lots of opportunity to travel, lots of diverse work within the company working for leading mining companies.

Cons

Constant change in management and strategy - only thing that is constant is change. Still some arrogance in the business and overwork their employees (few resources expected to work long hours and go above and beyond the call of duty).
