Pros

International compagny that provides opportunity to young graduates. Correct package reward. Great opportunity to go Global. I good company to start in.

Cons

Midle management is not strong enough to carry top management vision. Tendency to forget values in economic crises. Poor career management of mid-career hires. Not a good company to start if you have already experience.

Pros

Approachable senior management. Challenging projects. Decent compensation. Feeling of job security. Management thinks about employees as well as share holders before making measure decisions.

Cons

Caterpillar is huge enterprise therefore there is some sort of indiscipline seen in processes. Takes time to move up in management ladder. Sometime senior management tends to neglect employee personal growth.
