Pros and cons of working at BHP
Pros
The people I work with.
The culture is fantastic, it is a safe environment and you are able to bring up grievances without fear of retribution.
1. Plenty of opportunities and varieties of teams to work in, 2. Excellent remuneration (industry leading perhaps), 3. BHP invests in the graduates, many training opportunities and graduate events organized throughout the year.
Empowerment, equality, flexibility, fulfillment.
Variety of roles available, flexible working arrangements, the people we work with and benefits offered.
Cons
Working away from home.
An adequate job description was not supplied and it was near impossible to contact anyone. This resulted in me entering a role where my current qualifications were not effective and has resulted in me leaving the company before the end of the graduate program.
Only negative is getting acclimatized to FIFO work hours and lifestyle (I have trouble sleeping in the camp beds for example).
Major corporation, under-resourced.
Very large company which MAY make some people feel like they get lost in the system. As a grad in my department, no choice or even input into rotations.
