Pros

Great culture, great values, great people. I've been with the company for two decades and joining Cat was the best decision I could have made. They care about their employees and always try to do the right thing for them.

Cons

It is easy to get lost in such a large machine as Caterpillar. You must work hard on your career.

Pros

The industry is not volatile so it provides more job security than say the automotive or airline industry. Business is growing.

Cons

The workload can be a bit daunting. The work life balance is not the best. Average salary according to most.
