Pros

reasonable pay and benefits. usually home at night.

Cons

management, management management. Orica is constantly chipping away at all of the things that made people want to work for the companies that it has consumed. management is self centered and will stop at nothing to improve the bottom line. taking from employees has become a favorite pastime of management. no rewards for loyalty or hard work. employees are laid off easily. management will try to force employees into crappy positions. expect them to bear the expenses to move to them. buys generic equipment without regard to the environments that they work in.

Better be Australian

Pros

Great technical and very challenging projects, opportunities to learn are endless!

Cons

Better be an Australian if you want to climb up career ladders, and be ready for a steady 50h+ weekly and work in Australia time zone on a regular basis

Pros

The fact I don't need to see most of the managers anymore

Cons

If you are not straight or Australian (or Chilean in South America), it is not a good place.
