Pros

Some smart, well-meaning people are trying their best despite the dysfunction. Pay might be competitive (but it's not worth it). If you want a case study in how not to run a company, this place is a goldmine.

Cons

Company is in a constant state of crisis and reinvention. Two full global restructures in under a year, now on the third iteration of a business unit model – no clear strategy, no accountability, no leadership, just throwing darts at the wall. Leadership is shockingly inept. There’s a culture of reactive decision-making and zero follow-through. No clarity on roles, career paths, or long-term plans. Expect to be whiplashed into a new org chart every few months. Morale is in the gutter, but we're reminded executives making millions of dollars are humans who will make mistakes too. If you care about stability or sanity, this isn't the place.

Pros

Good Benefits and great pay, pension, 6% 401k match

Cons

Newmont has gone through 5 layoffs in 5 years. The most recent is currently ongoing with an estimated 3000 people globally being let go. The last layoff ended in April and employees were told that it would be the last one for awhile. This layoff was announced in August, so 4 months is all they went without starting another one. The employees don't trust the company anymore because of the repeated lies about layoffs. Newmont says they aren't making money with gold at record highs yet they are building all new offices in Australia and Costa Rica that are state of the art. If you have the choice go somewhere else. The other big issue is that no one in management takes harassment or retaliation seriously. Even when it's a Senior Manager harassing their employees (me). I went to HR and the managers boss, everyone swept it under the rug. The manager then retaliated against me for going to HR, I brought that up to HR and was told "no he is allowed to say what he wants and pull you from any task for any reason".
