Vantaggi
The people at BHP are fantastic. Professionally they are elite-level thinkers, very committed to business outcomes AND supportive of staff, and try to live the Values of BHP. The business itself is quite open about planning-for and implementing Automation. This honesty is tough to do, but they're doing it well. They take their corporate responsibilities very seriously (making a profit) - but their is also a strong culture of delivering social and community responsibility. I felt the balance was right. Overall a fantastic company to work for. One of the very best for anyone who wants to work with 'the best'.
Svantaggi
As with all giant corporates, BHP understand Technology will drive what the business looks like in 5, 10, 20+ years. Unfortunately, BHP Technology is not where it should be - and doesn't look like getting there any time soon. Crucial initiatives like Culture, Integration, and Implementation just 'haven't gone anywhere'. It's a tough place to be at present, and BHP is losing some terrific people. Pay and benefits might not be as 'above-market' as they once were, but still pretty good. No other 'Cons' comments, really. Transformation initiatives are always tough on staff, and BHP is no different. Thankfully most of them are moving ahead (just Technology holding up the show).
