      Pros

      Caterpillar is a very diverse company with international opportunities. CAT encourages movement within the company to keep employees satisfied and continually learning. They have a great rotational development program for engineers that rotates you through 4 different business units. This allows you to see how the different units each contribute to the company and may introduce you to a part of the business you would like to explore once your commitment to your home unit is completed.

      Cons

      Most of CAT's operations are in the midwest which is not my ideal living environment. It gets cold in the winter and still manages to get hot in the summer.

      Pros

      Family oriented. Very welcoming. Big equipment that is fun to play with.

      Cons

      Small town, not much to do. Although, you are only 3 hours in any direction from a major city. Those are Chicago, St. Louis, and Indianapolis. There are long rotational programs that take place if you want to be an engineer in marketing.
