Pros

Many opportunities to work in various fields, engineering, marketing, sales, product support etc. in addition to typical support roles such as IT, HR, medical etc. Good pay, great company history of creating products the world absolutely needs, stable management, promotions from within the company. I would want my children to work at Catepillar.

Cons

Career development for the majority of people is left entirely up to the individual employee. I wish the company took a bigger role in using and developing my strengths.

Pros

You are treated with autonomy, dignity, and respect. It is assumed you know how to do your job and are given the trust and means to do so. Compensation is above market value. Uncapped professional growth if you know how to play your cards right.

Cons

Working at Burger King and living from my car in Northern Michigan during the middle of winter was preferable to working on-site in Peoria. Project work was inherently meaningless and dictated almost entirely by the caste system this company has in Central, IL. My relocation had absolutely nothing to do with the role at hand and was a power play by management to get me to become a bleed-yellow Peorian in the CAT-corporate social club. The company loyalty here is absolutely disgusting and has nothing to do with the viability of the brand or product. Everyone is enamored with the status and wealth they've attained on account of not performing hard, manual, life-threatening labor. You would be hard-pressed to find anyone who actually cares about what goes on in the defense division or addressing the geopolitical anomalies between the former headquarters and the new business direction of the company.
