      Pros

      great benefits, good work-life balance, lot of job options to move laterally within the company, some structured training are available to learn but seldom used at work.

      Cons

      bad leadership, too many middle management, everyone tries to save themselves resulting in poor team work, poor career growth and development.

      Pros

      Been here for a few years, the good times are behind it. The compensation is fair but definitely not over the top.

      Cons

      You will get stuck in a job. CAT is a "global" company but if you wind up in Peoria IL you will not be leaving. Minimal jobs with travel opportunities. Internal job board is a mess, jobs open nobody responds and you sit and wait for months. Too much management, too much red tape. CAT really is finding new and creative ways to screw itself over in the long haul in order to achieve quarterly results.
