Pros

Great people. I think the thing I miss most are my co-workers.

Cons

Management. Upper Management in Australia not in tune with the issues happening in the US. The new structure doesn't work and they are doing their best to force a square peg into a round hole. When I started with Orica - it had a great culture. Employee focused and a desire to develop internal talent. That focus was lost ... changes being made to save money were to the detriment of the employees and to the business. Ability to manage was stripped from the Managers and certain departments were becoming the focus of everyone's frustration and dislike for the new structure, procedures, etc.

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.
