Poor management. Used to be a great company to work for. But if you are not part of the "in crowd", forget it - Manager Orica Employee Review

Pros

Coworkers below management level are great. You develop great friendships. Pay is good and so are the benefits. But vacation sucks.

Cons

Office is in the middle of nowhere. Not great during the winter or when thinking about lunch options. Also, company is not good at promoting from within. Such a lean company that no room for advancement unless your boss leaves but even then, new management is bringing in their people so internal candidates are not given a fair chance.

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.
