Benifits paid time off. These are the main two reasons to work there it is going down hill with the current managenment

Th e cons are total compensation. The upper management treats you like you are stupid and can not do simple math when it comes to compensation

Pros

Company has very good understanding of their markets

Cons

Caterpillar has made vast amount of effort to "Commoditize" the skills of engineers. Heavy contractor employment, followed by huge contract employee layoffs. This is a company driven by greed not by product excellence
