Pros

decent company, or it was a decent company

Cons

some of the VP's just got laid off without any reasons. This scares me and everyone else in the company. I guess if you become a CEO, you can fire just about anybody you do not like. Many of the employees are getting restless to staying at the company. This has decreased the morale of the employees significantly and it is proof that the leadership within caterpillar is terrible. As the economy is improving, expect a lot of people to leave because I doubt anybody wants to work in a place that fires Vice Presidents for no reason whatsoever. Its great to know that there are better companies than Caterpillar to work for.

Pros

great people diversity family atmosphere recognition and appreciation freedom to express thoughts openly very helpful and understanding people I had a great time!

Cons

I honestly could not see any other than the typical sluggishness associated with large companies. This being a a large organization, I did feel that there were too many loops involved and probably could benefit from cutting that down.
