Pros

somewhat better pay ..(certainly not the best in electronics industry)

Cons

- Too much of communal biasing seen at all levels - Senior technical community(not talking about the management here) need to be more respectful about the other younger professionals.From what I have seen, most of the technical people with experience of about 8- 10 years, they are literally interfering in other's(younger ppl) jobs (even if it is not part of their job role) and they vent out their frustration about not making it to the management levels on the younger professionals. They are ruining the inclusion factor and also the team climate and then they try to put the blame on management - Senior technical staff (around 8- 10 years of experience) have very sub-standard motivating skills and lack mentoring skills completely.They also don't like young guys whose communication skills are better than them as most of them were earlier working in small companies ..totally incompetitive mind set among the senior technical leads..some of them even try to de-motivate the agency employees while posing a very good image of themselves to the management

Pros

Good pay Some people in the company are great

Cons

Poorly thought out placement- I was put on a team across the country from where i lived the entired team was new to caterpillar because their company was bought out by cat. They had never had any form of intern before and didnt have anyone else who was remote other then me. Because of time differences the manager reguarly expected me to work off the clock but wouldnt give me project during work hours. No room for growth within team i was stuck to- i asked on multiple occasions how i could stand out and get a permanent position within cat since i was one semester from grafuating and was told by multiple people to just deal with my current role and leave cat because "the only real way to get in is if you work as temp worker and they just hapoen to decide to bring u on internally from that"
