      Hard to talk about it generically, but overall an OK company

      Pros

      - Benefits are very good, compared to the market (bonuses can reach 0-7 times your monthly wage per year) - My current boss is a great guy, knows how to lead - There are good chances to learn in many fields

      Cons

      - Salaries are normally low, so they use the benefits to compensate it!!! - Many cases of incompetence in higher levels (managers, etc), which is very unstimulating - Very political company - Several operations and projects are in very remote and low infrastructure areas - Bureaucratic and horrible IT - HR is not capable to provide a good service

      Pros

      Your guaranteed that your going to see a boss sitting on his but!!

      Cons

      Miners are making up to $6000/ month in bonus and the guys fixing their equipment are getting nothing but grief! They are making more in bonus in a month than we are in our normal wage, and that's over and above their same wage as us!

      Cons

      Globally, lack of grooming and consideration provided to non brazilians in terms of career succession and progression (to a managerial level) Lack of processes Lack of English capability means that things are lost in translation most of the time Too bureaucratic = lack of efficiency = loophole for people to exploit the syatem
