AngloGold Ashanti Australia Reviews

I am currently working in rotations in a mine, and will have many inter-departmental opportunities.

AGAA is very involved with the local communities that live near-by the mine sites. They often invite young people to the site to see what opportunities are available for them in the workforce.

The company provides competitive remuneration, mentoring, directions and good rotations to build up a future engineer who can carry on jobs independently. The company's management team is very responsible to support new employees to know the work, the mine, the people working together. The company's camp delivers excellent food and accommodation services as well.

The company is diverse with different cultures being hired in different roles.

As a graduate, I’m getting experience in different departments to build on my fundamental mining knowledge which will help me in my role as a Geotechnical engineer. I'm seeing how different departments collaborate to achieve the aims of the business.

Managers very much have an open door policy, they are easy to talk to and make good mentors.

On-site our dress code is high visibility clothing/ PPE so we all look very equal. The office and onsite facilities have everything you need; tea and coffee facilities, gym, dinner hall, tavern.

The hiring process starts from filling your info online and attaching your resume online through the AngloGold Ashanti career website. If you are selected, an online assessment needs to be completed to test your cognitive skills. Lastly, you get called for an interview with the manager you will be working with.

I am content with my pay, I believe the graduate programme has so much to offer, it is well structured and flexible. That in itself is a bonus.

Through the AGAA graduate programme I have undergone multiple training courses at the Australian Institute of Management including emotional intelligence, professional writing, giving presentations, communication within teams, etc. I have also undergone venomous snake handling, 4wd training, cyanide awareness and other safety courses whilst on site.

I work 12 hour days, sometimes with overtime. Overtime is expected on occasions, and if I ever needed to ask for a late start or early finish, I know my bosses will let me. Time off is always easy to ask for and only denied for good reason.

Restore and reuse officeworks. Recycle materials on site.
