Pros

Large company offering a relatively stable job. Growth of mechanization in construction industry in India offers good long term prospects in the field. Expansion of market base in India in the comming decade may ensure good growth for employees within the company.

Cons

Not the market leader in India yet, the company's India strategy needs to be clear.

Pros

Caterpillar India is one of the fastest growing companies and is probably the best place for Mechanical Engineers to work. Its integrated culture helps you to get in touch with the top management and work with people from diverse background and hence its a learning experience every moment.

Cons

The factory being located in Chennai, most of the employees speak in vernacular language i.e. Tamil and hence it creates hurdles in effective communication with the operators on the shop floor, which ultimately results in delays in execution of your ideas sometimes.
