      Pros

      Friendly work environment. Decent benefits.

      Cons

      As an engineering company, the company actually doesn't value its engineers! Layoffs at the downturn not based on employee performance... Executives care more about their own compensations more than the overall company, and reap much more money than they actually deserve compared to other employees at different levels that all contribute greatly to the company... Poor CEO, made many strategically wrong decisions to bring the company down!

      Pros

      - Good pay and benefits - Great people to work with - Interesting product with the opportunity to gain a wide range of knowledge working in engineering

      Cons

      - mining industry is subject to dramatic market changes in regards to the economy - indecisive management - CAT employees that transferred to facility after acquisition from Bucyrus are extremely arrogant for the most part - tremendous workloads that aren't manageable or sustainable - CAT has managed to lay off or lose the majority of the people that have drill knowledge - extremely top heavy on management
