Pros and cons of working at AngloGold Ashanti Australia

Pros

  • Supportive Colleagues: "The teams I have worked with across both sites have been a joy to work with and have provided amazing support both socially and professionally."

  • Diverse Projects: "Lots of different projects to work on... Lots of training (soft skills training) as part of the graduate program through AIM."

  • Teamwork: "There is a strong sense of teamwork and comradery when working and keeping the place operating."

  • Company Benefits: "Fully paid private health insurance for you and your immediate family... a very high level of cover."

  • Corporate Social Responsibility: "The renewable project at Tropicana is something I love and value about AGAA."

Cons

    • Lean Workforce Impacting Graduate Program: "Lean workforce making it difficult to follow graduate rotations."

    • Feeling Undervalued: "Many aspects of my job feel like just being given the 'busy tasks' or jobs nobody else would want to do."

    • Challenging working hours: "Work a minimum of 12 hours per day as per the contract, with some small amounts of overtime if needed."

    • Unstructured nature of the graduate program and being constantly short-staffed.

    • Minimal support and lack of guidance from the mentor/supervisor.
