      Pros

      decent company, or it was a decent company

      Cons

      some of the VP's just got laid off without any reasons. This scares me and everyone else in the company. I guess if you become a CEO, you can fire just about anybody you do not like. Many of the employees are getting restless to staying at the company. This has decreased the morale of the employees significantly and it is proof that the leadership within caterpillar is terrible. As the economy is improving, expect a lot of people to leave because I doubt anybody wants to work in a place that fires Vice Presidents for no reason whatsoever. Its great to know that there are better companies than Caterpillar to work for.
