Pros
This is a huge company and offers comparable benefits to its competitors. Strong integrity and mid-western values. Growth even during recession. Senior leaders are always homegrown, but that is part of Cat's problem...there's no new blood.
Cons
This is a huge ship and it takes a LONG time to turn it around. VERY mid-western in its values and culture -- good 'ole white boys at the top. Human resources policy , including compensation and benefit philosophy, is not leading edge...not even really 21st century. There's a great deal on innovation at the product level, but don't expect Cat to take any risks when it comes to people or HR policy. Strictly "market competitive"
