Pros

1. good salary and salary related benefits. 2. very good work, technically we will become better. 3. Cat Inc is having good vision and taking correct direction.

Cons

1. Too much work load (Because you paid higher).you are expected to stay very late. 2. Maintaining the work life balance is very difficult. 3. Too much work pressure, and stress. 4. point 1 and 3 will severely impact your health.I am seeing lot of youngsters developing different health issues. 5. You are expected to take many other additional responsibilities apart from your main responsibility to get any kind of growth. 6. The india (electronics) management dominated by particular caste, if you are of that caste then you will really get a fast track growth inside. 7. The entire division is dominated by employees from particular neighbour state, they form a group and create lot of gossips. 8. Persons coming from Premier institutes (IIT PSG), are valued, treated and cared much by the management.Not the same case with others. 9. Even though they talk about safety,they very less concerned about the employee safety. 10. Not much of other benefits Food, transport (because you are already paid higher).There is nothing else inside the company (recreation , relaxation room, library etc) to take time off from your hectic schedule.
