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

Good pay Some people in the company are great

Cons

Poorly thought out placement- I was put on a team across the country from where i lived the entired team was new to caterpillar because their company was bought out by cat. They had never had any form of intern before and didnt have anyone else who was remote other then me. Because of time differences the manager reguarly expected me to work off the clock but wouldnt give me project during work hours. No room for growth within team i was stuck to- i asked on multiple occasions how i could stand out and get a permanent position within cat since i was one semester from grafuating and was told by multiple people to just deal with my current role and leave cat because "the only real way to get in is if you work as temp worker and they just hapoen to decide to bring u on internally from that"
