Balance is what you make it and where you are in the company. So are able to leave it at the door and others are more passionate.

a good balance

Work history as in leadership, accountability and skills demonstrated.

promotions are based on following your bosses lead be publicly supportive and focus on personal relationships more, personal productivity less

Great, with time you can potentially have 3 weeks off paid.

typical, 3 weeks vacation after 5 years of professional experience

Fast paced, ever-changing, competing to be the best.

interesting locations to work pay and benefits

My direct management gives me good feed back. This is why I have stayed so long at this company.

random

It can be difficult at times depending on what's going on.

I really don't put much focus here. I work and spend time with family exclusively.

They are good, not always planned well enough to have everyone attend. Can do better.

not very inclusive, dominated by a few loud personalities when Barrick was more successful financially outings were more common, well organized and upbeat

Positive as long as we don't give up the house in regards to partnerships with outside companies and controlling some of managements need to cut where it hurts moral.

this all depends on the price of gold if corporate leadership buys into external consultant ideas then we will be impacted by uncontrollables if profit margins drop, work will become more stressful

I feel great and ready for the challenges (problems) to overcome.

I enjoy working with my team Work is interesting with a good amount of variety

Those that have a sense of ownership.

those that can gather credit and deflect blame

I feel I will be with Barrick for along time.

medium security

Fast but depends what your job is.

pace is determined by your skills to complete work some people delegate a lot and don't personally accomplish much

Ability to change skills or jobs with paid college courses offered.

benefits are very good

How different properties managers run their location.

that bad business deals at the corporate level would negatively impact formerly stable operations

12 hour shifts and the vibe I thinks depends on the individual.

typically 40 hours a week with another 6 traveling to remote sites in the area

The team is good but as new people filter in, the dynamic changes. It also depends on how easily they are influenced.

strong technical skills, poor people skills

Some are better than others, everyone's approach is different.

seems they have not invested in learning new skills

Confident, attentive, positive and factual.

be friendly, approachable, prepared with work examples

30 minutes

45-60 minutes

HR, manager you'll be reporting to and superintendent of that division.

a variety of mine superintendents, 2 supervisors and administration staff I heard back from Barrick the day after the interview and got a hire decision 4 days after the interview.

The hidden meaning of how you dealt with a difficult person or situation.

give us an example of how you worked with a difficult boss to deliver results

Can do attitude, safety, and the pursuit to succeed. Experience helps and integrity. Willing to try something new and approach new direction positively.

Barrick mine sites typically do not lay off. I one person leaves and they shuffle the group to fill the gaps.

Depending on your direct management team, Barrick encourages the ability to grow and innovate. My direct management support me and my decisions.
