      A great company has fallen on hard times

      Pros

      Lots of cash (at times, especially if you do a good job with your pitch), talented people, tools. Aggressive, talented people can get ahead.

      Cons

      Company continues in decline. It is difficult to move forward with a career in a shrinking company. Recent cuts were deep and random. We insist on continuing to fund dogs of projects while neglecting others with promise.

      Pros

      Great potential for skill growth opportunities provide your allowed to grow and not restricted into a role.

      Cons

      Poorly structured management of the business. Over spending by the CEO and very poor choices on acquisitions which continue to drag the company and people down yet he's still in place.

      Pros

      Cat used to be a much better company to work for. I have worked on a lot of exciting projects. Most of which have been cancelled

      Cons

      Management no longer cares about employees or customers. Shareholders are the only priority. Elimination of the annual employee survey is a perfect example of how they chose to just ignore any employee feedback. Now they target a very small selective group of employees for feedback so they can receive more of the answers they want to hear
