Pros

The Process Division has a very strong safety culture. It is the over-riding principle for most people. The processes are very interesting and provide a lot of oppotunity for metallurgists to learn about gold processing. While the chemistry and processing is advanced there is still opportunity for improvements to be made.

Cons

Senior management was not willing to address the issues that existed within their own ranks. There was little understanding of the concept of "the right person for the right job." The hours were long with little recognition for accomplishments. Also do not count on career advancement unles you make the opportunities happen for yourself.

Pros

Great opportunity to expand your skills and knowledge. With two processing plants, two open pit and one underground mine; this is a very large site with varied equipment and needs. The management team is capable of good decisions, is supportive of maintenance and engineering efforts.

Cons

The gold industry is struggling through a tough downturn in prices. Barrick is saddled with a large debt from over spending during the last high gold prices. This has put many projects out for several years and limits the future of mine operations. The corporate management has been replaced with individuals primarily from the financial field. This is a good thing for the company from a financial aspect; but the vision for the future of mining has been removed, I am not sure how this will impact the company in 5 years.
