Geologist Reviews
What is it like working as a Geologist?
July 2023
Good place if you have a family.
Geologist in Kalgoorlie:
Pros: Going home every night to see my family
Cons: Isolated, not much to do, far from major cities, expensive flights
September 2022
Consulting Geologist.
Geologist in West Jordan:
Pros: Lots of opportunity to gain experience in many different fields
Cons: Can be hard to connect in such a large company
June 2022
Geologist in Kelowna:
Pros: Spending time outdoors and doing exciting/challenging projects, spending time with pretty great people.
Cons: Communication about project details such as realizing most expenses will be initially out of pocket and reimbursed with pay upon arrival to project. This is stressful because expenses can be high, straining available cash reserves until expenses get paid back with bi-weekly pay.
Planning can change quickly in this industry that's understandable but having no idea what is coming around the corner is frequent and is stressful.
February 2021
Meh.
Geologist in Houston:
Pros: Ability to work across groups within the company to pursue what you’d like to do.
Cons: Underpaid, too large of a company, lack of quality technical geological work, no real development of skills or career path (I.e. little to no training, this is a job not a career), did I mention underpaid?
September 2020
Great team and company values but some disconnect on remuneration and career advancement.
Geologist in Calgary:
Pros: Variety of work and great people to work with.
Cons: Nebulous career development and seemingly prevalent typecasting.
August 2020
Great work experience, underappreciated in role.
Geologist in Harare:
Pros: The variety of challenges the job provides
Cons: The appreciation of the work that I put in
May 2020
NGM Geologist.
Geologist in Winnemucca:
Pros: Given (also requires) time to work alone and get things done, but also have information and resources avaible.
Cons: Constant pressure of "go-go-go".
