Negative OutlookI worked at Orica full-time for less than a year
Pros
Didn’t discover any real Pros for this business. Arrogant and very poor culture, pockets of exceptional people though.
Cons
Expected to work at 200% of your role and have aspects change weekly and workloads with it. Leadership is led by a few whom are all about themselves and you should be prepared to be exiled should you not agree with them. High churn rate of Snr leadership due to 1 individual would say won’t change till that person is no longer with the organisation - be mindful as promise role description is not what happens. Accident waiting to happen with safety, technology led by arrogance in ignorance. Deeply consider your options and appreciate bad culture remains
