work is good (technically), but international growth for cat India employees are not good
Pros
1) Good technical work 2) Good Knowledge repository of Cat, which can give you a lot of learning 3) Flexible Timing 4) OK work life balance (depends upon the person)
Cons
1) Onsite opportunities are very low, this is heartbreaking, since Cat USA has lots of Indian vendors, which are preferred over cat India employee. 2) Cat USA treats CAT India as an another vendor rather than its own counterpart 3) Because of above mentioned reasons, there is no set plan for involvement of CAT India in design and manufacturing the product for Indian market. because of this high profile work is missing, employees still doing the work given to them by US projects, which is good but can be much better being in CAT 4) Low compensation, not upto the market standards 5) Regional politics is very high , since CAT India is in chennai
