Constantly evolving energetic environment
Signal Technician (Current Employee), Pilbara, western Australia – June 17, 2012
Pros: good accomodation and facilities
Cons: being away from family
On arrival to depot liase with train control about outstanding activities to be attended, Catch up with previous shift activities,then attend to faults or proceed with Maintenance, return to depot and log days events.

I have learnt a large amount of administration and communication aspects that can more efficiently enhance the day to day and future – more... direction of workplace activities.

Management seem to be proactive in keeping up with the smooth opperation of facilities but unfortunately have not provided the support and training that was indicated during the employment process.

My co-workers are a diverse group that are a great team to work with that will supply assistance if required.

The hardest part of my job would be the decreasing amount of organisation and increasing amount of expectation without getting the assistance required while the most enjoyable aspect is the constantly evolving requirement of product knowledge and challenge of keeping up a reliable and smooth running rail network. – less

Great people and benefits but mixed corporate culture and direction
Facility Manager / Corporate Headquarters (Current Employee), Greenwood Village, CO – May 4, 2012
The people here are fantastic and the benefits are some of the best out there. The culture is a bit uneasy from recently being up for sale and subsequently having part of the business sold off. Also, they don't do a good job of communicating their vision and direction.

Empresa Excelente
Coordenadora Arquivista Senior (Current Employee), Brasília, DF – August 12, 2012
Pros: respeito ao funcionário e ambiente agradável
Cons: pressão por vários gerentes devido ser uma multinacional
A Rio Tinto é uma empresa que preza muito pelos seus funcionários, aprendi muito principalmente por trabalhar com colegas de várias partes do mundo e culturas diferentes. A gerência é acessível. A parte mais difícil é a pressão e a melhor são os colegas de trabalho.
