      Pros

      Its a really collaborative environment. Compensation is comparable to competitors. bonuses are guaranteed. There seems to be a great work life balance for most employees maybe with the exception of those working directly in operations. There is lot

      Cons

      I have been extremely disappointed with senior managements response to the lows and highs in metal prices. Good senior management is capable of keeping a moderate path. However management has overreacted to high metal prices in 2008-2010 and hired too many people. In addition too much capitol was spent and risks with mergers and projects were taken that just didn't pan out. The current CEO is overreacting to low metal prices now. There are huge cuts in both capitol and people. In a couple of years I think the company will be in bad place due to todays reactive decisions.

      Pros

      Very highly regarded organisation that has a clear focus on tier one mining deposits.

      Cons

      Leadership abilities are patchy across the organisation. Your career is entirely in your hands. Don't expect anyone else to help you along the way. You might be lucky, but general advice would be that you are the only one who can make your career work for you.
