Pros

Excellent benefits! They love taking care of their employees and it shows. They have some wonderful people working for them that make it a great place to be.

Cons

Where to start? The technology is outdated at best and they are slow at changing it. My honest opinion is that they don’t want to change it, but I could be wrong. They openly brag about how many hours employees have to work and the reason for that is because of the dinosaur technology they have. You work twice as hard there to do menial tasks that are a waste of time. That leads me to work life balance. It doesn’t exist there. They have an outdated view on this and upper management leads the way in working 24-7. I’m surprised most of their older managers don’t have heart disease with the amount of stress and work the company dumps on them.

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".
