      A Wonderful Company, turned dark soul since 2010

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Huge diversity of businesses, roles, and jobs. Global company. Opportunity to build a breadth of experience building your career.

      Cons

      For last 5 - 8 years, corporation has been run by an accountant. The paternalistic company that employees supported because Cat / Cat leadership supported them is gone. Run by numbers. Employees are fearful.

      Good Salary and Benefits, Awful Senior Management

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pay and benefits are good, but benefits aren't what they once were, as they try to curb healthcare costs. Good work-life balance for most roles.

      Cons

      Layoffs layoffs layoffs, then more layoffs. They are never ending, and while everyone left takes on more work to cover for those laid off, revenue continues to decline (down >40% over the past 4+ years), the executive office continues to reward themselves with raises. It's disgusting and demoralizing, and has many of those still left looking elsewhere for work.

      Caterpillar is changing

      Engineering project team leader

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good opportunity in technology space, but need a good manager to work for which is rare here. Machine systems team is good here.

      Cons

      Most of the mgmt is not good. CAT is at the cusp of devastation led by the middle management. Good people leaving CAT by the day.
