Pros

Flexible hours | Lots of opportunity for growth | Active work environment | On-the-job training provided | Ability to work independently | Creative thinking rewarded | Management really listens | Employees' opinions make a difference | Excellent communication | ... | I've worked with a lot of top-notch people during my time at Orica, and learned a great deal more than I ever expected.

Cons

Flexible hours (so long as they include and exceed 8am-5pm) | Lots of opportunity for growth (in patient endurance) | Active work environment (due to constant emergencies) | On-the-job training provided (by you) | Ability to work independently (outside of business hours) | Creative thinking rewarded (with endless mundane tasks) | Management really listens (to their superiors, and no one else) | Employees' opinions make a difference (to their job security) | Excellent communication (six months after the decision was made by someone in Australia who didn't care to understand the impact) | ... | I've worked with a lot of top-notch people during my time at Orica (because they didn't stick around very long), and learned a great deal more than I ever expected (such as the subtle intricacies of office politics).

Pros

Global leader in segment, safety procedures, and values.

Cons

Recently top management is obsessed with generating profits by cutting headcount, leading to higher workloads, and then they talk about mental wellbeing. In 2026 the strategy is only to generate profits, even if it means we risk our own sales.
