Rio Tinto selected this as a representative review
Wide array of clerical and administrative duties for FIFO and residential teams. Extremely varied tasks - travel, PPE, HSE involvement, reporting, etc
I learned what teamwork really is
Management is great, with a progressive attitude
Workplace culture is professional yet casual and inclusive
Hardest part of the job was probably trying to juggle so many tasks that related to people on rotating rosters. Required good use of personal notes and a sharp memory
Most enjoyable part was the camaraderie
Pros
Great place to expand skills and get paid well to do it
Cons
Mining and resources sector can be unstable
Departmental infighting, constantly looking over your wondering who's gonna stab you in the back, any excuse to pin you for trumped up safety breaches, toxic workplace on all sites, management looks down at you like you're vermin, too busy focusing on paperwork and not the job. Would not recommend rio tinto to anyone, its not a place of employment its suicide watch
Pros
Like what?
Cons
Being dehumanising
The worst workplace culture, unsupportive, sometime abusive I have personally experienced bullying and even though I reported problems through the chain of command nothing changes.
Pros
a salary
Cons
abusive, unsupportive and poor management
Management intentionally harass staff in order to control them. This company actively practices organisational brain washing. The whole show is as crooked as a dogs hind leg.
Pros
Money, Roster
Cons
Poor management, toxic culture
This place was run both muppets. Internal fighting between departments and a lack of understanding of basic principals of management by this place was a sorry and actually sad think to see
My team are nice to work with. Some of the team work harder than others. But I have found that in every Office that I have worked. There is always a select few that go above and beyond.
Rio Tinto is slow in the pass out process on machines and some of the material is not easy to decipher . An RPL does not mean anything to them even when you give them proof of prior operation and provide skill tickets . Their processes are rediculous.
Pros

Is Indeed your favorite place to learn about companies?
Working at Rio Tinto, Bundoora was an incredibly fast-paced ordeal with 60-hour weeks, but it was also a highly rewarding role where all team members were constantly updated on the progress of the project and how their efforts were being well-received. Staff morale was also very high because everyone was encouraged to look out for each other's mental and physical well-being.
Overall, it was not a role for the faint-hearted, but it was one I would recommend to an ambitious graduate seeking a fresh start in a chemical engineering role.
Gym good, need down time, basketball area, recreation area, rooms pretty clean, friendly group of people everyone saying hi, we all try and get the job done
Not a good company to work for. Even worse if you're a female. The culture in some areas is the worst I have ever endured. Don't get me wrong, there are some great people there but there are far too many 'old school boys' still there who are more in 'protect their job' mode than want to do the right thing. HR will listen but does nothing.
If you want to do the right thing and wanted to be treated fairly, this is not the company for you. Some of the behaviours I have seen towards colleagues is disgraceful. Persistent bullying and discrimination. If someone wants to go after you, they can all will only stop when you leave.
Working condition satisfactory, excellent work environment and highly diversified workforce, certainly the most pleasurable workplace I have the opportunity to work.
Good pre work information and job descriptions. Information was always available from supervisors and work colleagues. Rio allowed me to advance my career with training and job opportunities. Workplace culture changed with sites and experience. Hardest part of the job was due to isolation of sites and availability of equipment. Most enjoyable was the opportunity and challenges.
wasn't a bad place to work over all, wish i could have stayed for longer
good salary
good tooling
company accommodation was pretty good
vehicles and machinery was always maintained
No two (2) days were the same. Training always available, Management
had an open door policy and were available for guidence when needed.
Advancement policy within the business was promoted.
The challenges of driving a major project through an EPCM proved frustrating, with a lack of accountability across the project causing frustrations and a lack of job satisfaction.
The root of the problem lay within the EPCM management team coupled with a soft RTIO management approach.
Terrible cultures and everyone goes for the throat to better their position for themselves such a bad environment to be in causing massive stress and anxiety every day
Good company with poor managers as there is no real leaders at this company. All employees are constantly worried about their jobs !!
Could be a lot better with great leaders.
Be ready for the challenges that exist in any large organization. Very driven organization to succeed and include diversity with people. Great personal development opportunities and you'll work with some of the best and brightest in the mining industry. A great place to learn and grow as a result.
Pros
Great perks. Allowances health care, employee share scheme, bonus
Cons
Can be politically challenging with more senior roles
