    OZ Minerals, formerly Oxiana Limited, was renamed following the merger of Oxiana with fellow Australian based miner Zinifex Limited in June 2008. The name OZ Minerals drew on the strong heritage of both companies. OZ Minerals is an Australian based modern mining company with a focus on copper. OZ Minerals' strategy is to create value for our shareholders and other stakeholders, with a focus on four areas: lean business, multiple assets, copper core and customer focus. OZ Minerals owns the Prominent Hill copper-gold mine and Carrapateena copper-gold project, both situated in South Australia. Source: this is an extract from the company's own website

    Overall, I cannot recommend oz minerals to anyone seeking a professional and fulfilling work experience. The lack of integrity, ambition, and leadership make it an unfavorable choice for any job seeker.
    The good thingsThe catering company onsite provided great hospitality services and organized social events
    The challengesThe work environment was often toxic, with instances of underdelivering on promises and a lack of accountability for individuals' actions. Additionally, there was little support from management, who failed to foster a positive and supportive culture, leaving employees feeling undervalued.
