Business outlook
Pros
Caterpillar is a very stable place to work. My colleagues are very knowledgeable about the industry and there is a good camaraderie between colleagues. The work environment is very diligent to say the least.
Cons
The camaraderie sometimes turns to a buddy system. Also it allows inappropriate interaction with coworkers. Although it is a very conservative company it also has the old American ideal of the "boys club" within the corporate environment as well as with the customer interaction. Also because of the conservative nature the company lacks innovative vision and support.
