Management is completely unethical. They have a paper that is posted around the corporate and regional offices that says "Got Ethics?", which is supposed to instill ethical behavior, however if management does not understand the meaning of ethical behavior, then this message means nothing. My experience was a bait and switch game from the beginning. I was on a rotation and had to hold senior leadership accountable quarterly for fear they would leave me in that regional location for good. When you're employees start working for a company, the last thing they want to do is have to hold leadership accountable to their commitments. Then, when the warn act was issued that layoffs were coming, I somehow came up for a promotion. While I was going through those interviews, I was also interviewing externally. Somehow they found out I was interviewing. Management told me if I kept interviewing, I would not be considered for the promotion. I decided to be loyal to a company that didn't deserve it. I stopped interviewing externally, got promoted, and then two months later was laid off with the other Warn Act employees who were laid off. Leadership has no regard for human decency. It is a good old boy network of misfits who make statements like "That's the elephant in the room, this isn't your same dallas cowboys, feed the seeds to fruition, run the pipeline, etc, etc. referencing absolutely nothing related to executable action plans." The point is none of those things make any sense to getting things done and executing with precision. The company is completely unethical, management is terrible, and they've had this Category Manager position posted for over a year without hiring anyone. The reason is they don't know their own heads from their own behinds and can't make a decision due to their own lack of intelligence. It's the blind leading the blind.

A typical day would start with me checking all of the bulk commodity levels at multiple mine sites through out Northern Nevada ie: sulfuric acid, lime, fuel caustic acid and the movement of gold ore from one mine site to another. Followed by checking with end users needs would be for that day or week and then getting with our contracted trucking companies to make sure they had the right equipment to satisfy all of the needs of an end use on any mine site in Northern Nevada belonging to Newmont Mining. At that point I would forecast how much of a commoidty we would need for that week and source that particular commodity. The work place culture was great for the most part working with good friendly people, being basically the liaison between my carrier contractors and end users within Newmont. The hardest part was defiantly the contract negation portion of the job. Trying  to help all of mine upper management realize the rates were what they were; considering the fact that they typically had no experience in putting a Transportation Services Agreement together and how its ever changing.Finally it was my responsibly to reconcile all bulk commodity and ore deliveries some were reconciled weekly and some were reconciled monthly. Finally part of my duties were to manage the Dunphy rail terminal where our copper concentrate was shipped out via rail over seas. Along with out copper, our sulfuric acid, lime , and grinding media all came in via rail at the dunphy terminal.

If there was the perfect example of NON-TECHNICAL management its the IT Management here. They hire low grade engineers based on who they know. They don't know how to pick good talent because, well they don't know the answers themselves. It is completely pointless to have non-technical managers and it should not be allowed. The infrastructure manager there literally knew nothing about infrastructure much less networking. He was condescending and didn't appreciate talent that he did have... well because he doesn't know how to judge talent. The ONLY person that knew what they were doing was the Exchange Engineer. Everyone else was a joke. The "VMware Engineer" basically just used VMware support to get everything done. They had Jrs doing tasks above their pay grade and never rewarded. If you want awesome benefits this is the place for you. However, if you want to move up there you have to be part of the cool club and suck up MAJORLY "KG". One guy was there for 2 years at the corp office and ended up a director. The guy was horrible at his job and was a micro manager AHEM KG. The advancement there is not based on how hard you work. Its based on who you go to happy hour with and who you play fantasy football with. The IT Director is a really nice guy but also oblivious to all of the happenings and doesnt recognize hard work.

A typical day at work at Newmont was fast-paced and reactive, with a strong focus on resolving incidents and maintaining operations across a large and complex enterprise environment. The workload was often high, and priorities could change quickly, requiring constant context switching.

I learned a great deal from a technical perspective, particularly around supporting Microsoft 365 in a large corporate environment, including exposure to enterprise-scale processes, migrations, and global collaboration. The experience helped strengthen my troubleshooting skills and ability to work under pressure.

Management was inconsistent. While some leaders were supportive and knowledgeable, decision-making was often centralized and slow, which made it difficult to address operational challenges efficiently at the site level. Communication between corporate and site teams could be fragmented.

Workplace culture varied depending on the team and location. Collaboration existed at the technical level, but morale was impacted by workload, limited autonomy, and frequent process changes.

The hardest part of the job was managing high expectations with limited control over tools and decisions. The most enjoyable part was working with skilled colleagues and gaining experience in a large-scale enterprise environment.

There is lots of training opportunities here. However it is a fast paced high production environment. Because of the high focus on production I found the work place environment to be more short term focused and highly reactionary. Due to the reactionary environment there is a tendency to stick with what is known to work and a reluctance to innovate. The high production environment also seemed to favor those who visibly worked overtime for advancement.

The engineering team here tends to be fairly young which can make it a fun place to work, and the benefits and vacation where above average. When I started there was an above average percentage of female managers in my department. However by the time I left there was a below average number of females in the department.

The hardest, and most enjoyable aspect of the job was adapting to the daily challenges and working with a wide variety of stakeholders from all different types of background. This job honed my communication and team building skills.

If you are a geologist, metallurgist or some other "ist" in the mining industry than this is a great company to work for.

Pros:
Good compensation package
Lots of learning opportunities
Top-notch industrial technical expertise 


Cons (may have changed to the better now):
lack of coherent organizational structure
work-life balance
very much a relationship driven organization
cultural and gender diversity was an issue 

Advice to Management:
Streamline work processes and clarify roles and responsibilities among departments, regions and consequently positions.
Matrix organization is not an excuse to have too many overlaps and even more gaps in responsibilities which make increasingly difficult to move projects forward.
Do something about the "chiefs" to "Indians" ratio - so many "directors" who never managed a single person let alone departments and/or functions.

As a global architect support SAP PM:
Deployed SAP PM solution to several sites around the world.  My Primary responsibilities in SAP PM are to provide in-depth support of Maintenance business processes, support for SAP PM and support for related ERP/SAP functionality. 
Significant breadth of knowledge and familiarity with integrated processes, Extensive knowledge in SAP PM configuration, a complete end-to-end business processes knowledge in ERP/SAP functions across multiple business areas. Work is executed in conjunction with the other global functional area analysts in a coordinated manner where required.  I am part of the core body of functional experts who will ensure that comprehensive SAP deployed processes are accurately adhered. Support all relevant business disciplines, departments and user groups globally.
Hardest part of the job is to have the users around the world aligned with each other in a multinational company.
Most enjoyable part of the job is to interact and work with the users in 6 different countries. By which I gained an amazing cultural knowledge.

A typical day at work is centered on safety and productivity and People. A day at work is about achieving your long term goals  in tasks. The organisation is a learning organisation where innovation is welcomed. I have learned to aligned the strategic objective is linked to day to day task which make me feel as part of the essential part of the organisation. I have learned about safety, inclusion and diversity at work, sustainability, production and people at the workplace. management is focused on achieving it goals through safe production. The value of the organisation is embedded in the workplace.  The hardest part of the job is depending or influencing people to work in a systematic and compliance environment. Most enjoyable part is achieving goals on time and safely and beyond.

I really liked working there the pay and benefits are great. I had a few issues with some of my two faced co workers but that's everywhere you work. Its very fast paced and numbers driven which creates an environment where no one wants to help anyone else because it will negatively affect their production numbers. One co worker in particular would be all smiles and tell me I was doing good and then go to the shift manager and complain. Management kinda tried to help sort of but I repeatedly asked ways I could improve and was always told I would figure it out myself which was very frustrating. I was also talked to because I was too quiet which caught me by surprise but when no one wants to help you and a co worker is constantly talking bad about you behind your back its not easy just chatting away with everyone. All issues aside it was a cool job and I would definitely recommend working for them.
