      Big, multi-national company and acts like one

      Pros

      This is a huge company and offers comparable benefits to its competitors. Strong integrity and mid-western values. Growth even during recession. Senior leaders are always homegrown, but that is part of Cat's problem...there's no new blood.

      Cons

      This is a huge ship and it takes a LONG time to turn it around. VERY mid-western in its values and culture -- good 'ole white boys at the top. Human resources policy , including compensation and benefit philosophy, is not leading edge...not even really 21st century. There's a great deal on innovation at the product level, but don't expect Cat to take any risks when it comes to people or HR policy. Strictly "market competitive"

      Pros

      Great, growing company with lots of opportunity for professional growth. Gave interns meaningful work and the people were great to work with.

      Cons

      Interns at most companies seem to have better luck in getting hired from within. Not necessarily true here.
