Pros

It's nice to work for a leader and a recognized company. It has good recognition to have on your resume - it makes you more desirable to the employment market.

Cons

Employees are not highly valued - they are one more lever that can be pulled to make the quarterly numbers. The work environment has significantly deteriorated over the last 7-8 years. It feels like Cat is trying to lose the superior employer image it had and striving for normal or average turn-over rates. Don't expect any loyalty - that's just the way it is.

Pros

Good health insurance and benefits, good yearly bonuses. The pay is good.

Cons

They are enforcing returning to office by any means necessary. They have lost many high-quality producers who have refused to relocate or refuse to come in. Here's the kicker - they are requiring in-person attendance at the Chicago office and there aren't even enough desks for everyone. It would be a literal fire hazard if we all came into the Chicago office at the same time, M-F, during business hours. No one knows how or if they are going to actually enforce this. Cost of gas is insane, Joe doesn't care about the workers. Or the work for that matter. It's obvious this is a soft layoff, they have made a bunch of people quit. Their internal design agency is falling apart, lots of people have quit, not only because of return to office but because of the toxic politics, favoritism, and lack of direction and accountability. Mediocre workers are allowed to keep their jobs ONLY because of their ability to put their bodies in a chair and work in-person. The other relocation option HR gave besides Chicago was Peoria. No one wants to live in Peoria for any reason whatsoever, be for real.
