It's good place

De Beers is nice place, you get free lunches and most managers are understanding if you have to go out for personal matters such as Doctors app, or attending to a sick child at school. Remuneration and benefits is good.Downside, career progression can become stagnant

Free lunch

Career progression

Poor environment for young forward thinkers

Poorly skilled management that are old school and believe they are the boss and you listen to them. Little scope for lateral thinkers.
