Pros

Compensation and benefits are good or at least in line with other larger companies.

Cons

Can be a bit of a boys club, especially in the manufacturing facilities. Propmotiona and opportunities are given to people "in" the club and if your not in your opportunities are vaery limited.

Pros

Leadership makes good long term decisions to position Caterpillar as a strong world wide competitor. Caterpillar is a large exporter from the US providing a net positive trade for the US. Pay is fair to more desirable that equivalent opportunities.

Cons

Only down side is the level of expectations and work loads are higher that similar engineering opportunities. But rewards and compensation are provided when these high expectations are achieved.
