Business outlook
Pros
good compensation compared to other companies. good job security since caterpillar loves to keep employees around for 20-30 years. good recognition if working on a new emissions regulation
Cons
Same old mentality of "No change". Keeps people around from 20-30 years. It can keep you in the same position and same group for 10-15 years unless you fight for change. Cuts corner through agency layoffs. Highly inefficient knowledge sharing. Salary of new hires end up higher than current employees in some instances.
