Caterpillar reviews

Very old boy culture. Management is slow to make critical decisions. Extremely bureaucratic and resistant to change and they are terrible at change management. Management is often more interested in finding scapegoats than root causes to systemic business and product problems. Employees hide behind bureaucratic processes to stall or prevent any type of change.

Where do I begin. Caterpillar is a household name in Peoria, but when working there it seems that company business should be in a gossip column instead of the business page. It does not matter the hard work you put in at CAT, it is who you know and what you can do for them. The work environment is unprofessional and condescending. Upper management will mislead you and depending on the area you work for you may or may not ever be able to climb the corporate ladder. Watch out for empty promises for promotions. CAT's "Core Values" are a farce to cover up for their underlying scheming mentality. Do not take anything for face value. Unqualified people are being promoted where as the hard workers are being overlooked. It goes back to the whole 80/20 rule... 20 percent of the people are doing 80 percent of the work... but it is that 20 percent that is being overlooked.
