Caterpillar reviews

Ananimity - No one knows what you are really doing and where you are adding value. When they lay you off they do not know what the impact will be because management doesn't even know your name. Management rotates like musical chairs every 3 to 4 years. You have to start all over, developing metrics and training new management on what your job is and how you fit into the corporation. Because there is no tracability to low performance, I have seen very competent and ambitious people laid off while the person right next to them stays in place and does very little outside of surfing the web all day.

Everybody below is treated as a number. That is the easiest cut to make to fulfill the greed of executives. Their few million dollars saves families of several low level families. Absolutely, no consideration of hard work, only YES SiR attitude dominates. Any who challenges upper management is cut. Acquisition of Bucyrus was a blunder. Paying $9Bil for a $3Bil was foolishness.
