Business outlook
Pros
Work life balance and compensation are excellent. Caterpillar really cares about its people and is always looking for ways to communicate and show they care. Career growth opportunities are abundant and everyone has the ability to explore new career options outside of their past experience.
Cons
Size of the Enterprise can be difficult to get things done at times. Politics can also be a problem, as it is at any employer of this side. At times, those with experience outside of Caterpillar are not fully leveraged and "status quo" decision making can be an issue. However, the recent reorganization should help improve this situation.
