      Just a paycheck, not a career

      Principal advisor

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good money and exposure to a different perspective on mining than most other companies on the planet. A good place to learn what not to do. Great severances packages. Learn what you need and then move on. You will never retire from Rio Tinto. You will only be made redundant eventually. Be in control of your own destiny and leave when the time is right for you.

      Cons

      An organization that has lost touch with mining and processing. Rio Tinto is not an IT business or an academic organization to experiment and develop "the mine of the future". Mining is still just that, mining. Get over yourselves! Too many Australians trying to overcompensate for the Australian stereotype of not being too smart and being lifeguards.
