Pros

Salary, Salary, Salary (which is not great but OK)

Cons

If you are not from down-under or from BHP, forget career advancement (to serious positions), Middle Management does not listen people working for them or follow strategy (just try to advance their own goals), Bonuses hah! what are those! If you work at HQ then you get communicated, anywhere else expect a delay between 12-24 months. Hours are horrible, especially with all alignment projects being executed (=get more to do, wit your normal salary)
