Pros

There are a bunch of good people that work at Caterpillar. The benefits are good and there is great room for advancement. Even though my job is stressful I enjoy going to work each day. Most days are rewarding.

Cons

The communication throughout the enterprise is very sub-par.

Pros

Good technical career path in most engineering areas. The sub-units (engineering sections) are run by engineering supervisors who have engineering degrees, so they typically understand the work they are dishing out..

Cons

Way to focused on processes, it's like we believe Utopia can really work, and very little slack is given for non-conformance. Some managers are obsessed with "just follow the proces and nothing can go wrong. Everything will go wrong if we don't follow the process"
