Pros

Good performing company with lots of opportunities, both here and globally. Growing despite the slow economy. Orica has a good culture, particularly around safety. The pace of change is quick and this creates lots of opportunites to advance. It is always good to work for a global market leader.

Cons

The mining industry is fairly conservative and Orica reflects this, meaning that it is not as entrenpenuerial as it could be. Historically there has been a real old boys club in the US business. This is being broken down however a lot these "old boys" create a lot of negative sentiment.

Despite it's size and position within the industry, it is a staggeringly incompetent organization...

Business Outlook

Pros

Global presence, reasonable compensation, standard perks (vehicle, laptop, phone), excellent benefits, potential resources.

Cons

Lack of leadership from senior management, limited communication among regional management team, poor strategic vision, questionable ethical decisions, reactionary response to market fluctuations (versus being an industry leader), loss of focus on the customer and their needs, unrealistic view of the market and the price it can bear, insufficient time and resources to accomplish goals within reasonable parameters, cursory support of safety and regulatory compliance, ponderously slow in moving forward on any front, and absurd rate of turnover within all levels of the organization.
