De Beers Employee Review
Good pay, difficult lifestyle
Plumber/Gasfitter/Oil Burner Mechanic (Former Employee) - Northwest Territories - 7 December 2022
Good pay, but difficult work/life balance with a family and working remotely. Camp is not the best quality, but the workers are great. Management is tough to connect with.

Not a terrible place to work
Heavy equipment technician (Current Employee) - Northwest Territories - 30 May 2023
Don’t mind it here, the people you work with are great. It’s the little things here. Constantly getting sick, not great food, dorms are 3/10 and parts for equipment will drive you up the wall. Cause there isn’t much. Tooling is what you make of it. High turn over rate in the shop. Management booted Sms out and they brought in mader and 70-80% of them don’t give a careThe mentality here is save a penny by spending a dollar. So take that as you will.
