AngloGold Ashanti Australia Reviews

After completing the requirements of the Graduate position, there is the potential to move into either a plant or project Metallurgist role, with future progression as a Senior Metallurgist, Superintendent and Manager available long term.

AGAA funds a series of educational and healthcare programs for the local indigenous and rural communities. Furthermore, the local indigenous community has established 2 contracting companies to provide services to the site which promotes employment and economic opportunities.

The culture at AGAA is very supportive and fun. The seniors are always here to help with our learning and work. All co-workers I bump into in the corridor or after hours are always up for a laugh or a chat. All employees are encouraged (and expected) to show initiative and drive projects.

A good attitude towards making the workplace as diverse as possible. The company sees the value in being flexible to retain employees and in hiring across a diverse range of people. AGGA is transparent with their notion that everyone deserves a chance to present their capabilities regardless of their background or upbringing. I've had the privilege to meet Graduates from different disciplines, work experiences and hometowns.

I follow a structured program with rotations to learn a variety of skills and gain an understanding of the plant. This is in line with my long-term professional development plans

Everyone I have interacted with in management positions are approachable. They ask us to speak up if things aren't right and provide a good environment for people to feel comfortable in doing so. Performance feedback is encouraging, and training is very accessible.

The office space is very comfortable. Tropicana has quality rooms, a good mess, laundry rooms and good recreation facilities like beach volleyball, soccer and basketball. Convenient shop on camp for extra purchases.

The interview process was incredibly smooth - the team explained the career pathway, the work life balance, and career progression. A few technical questions, but most were around attitude, goal/ambitions and seeing if I would fit with the company culture and values. Have some prepared examples of your work/university experience where you have demonstrated safety, leadership and handled tough situations. Present yourself in a way where it truly shows you are eager to learn and progressively develop yourself. Practice does get you a little better each time.

The graduate compensation is in line with other companies offering similar roles. Private health including discounts for gyms, travel and cinemas.

Both formal and informal training is easy to access and encouraged

12-hour days on-site. There’s always something happening on site and funnily enough, time feels short. Sometimes, 12-hour days aren’t enough.

There is a big effort to use solar power at site, and a lot of environmental procurations are in place to limit the footprint of the mine.
