Pros

Good corporate history. Up until a few years ago, Orica, had a wealth of good loyal people with substantial knowledge.

Cons

Narrow minded management joining the company from other organisations making decisions without knowledge of the business, consultation to the workforce, or understanding the downstream effects or true cost of their poor decisions. Employees are considered as a number, which can be easily replaced if required. This is a clear indication that management do not understand the true assets they have. No clear vision by EXCO with exceptionaly poor Communication to employees, customers, and industry.

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.
