Pros

I grew up wearing their apparel and watching my family use their trucks for work, but I don't know anymore.

Cons

I submitted an application back in 08/22. I was called for an interview by an internal recruiter. After rescheduling a few times, because of international time-zone conflicts from the Hiring Manager, I had my interview. It was a positive interview interaction. After the interview, I was informed, I would have an update within a week. . After 2 weeks, I called the recruiter (left vm) and followed up with an email. NO RESPONSE.. After 3 weeks, I called again (no answer) and replied off the original email chain. NO RESPONSE.. IT HAS BEEN 6 WEEKS SINCE INTERVIEWING & I'M STILL "IN PROCESSING" with no communication from anyone at the company.. Mind you, the position was removed, then reuploaded, then removed again within 48hours in mid-September (YES, I was checking every single day. That's how much I wanted to be a part of the Caterpillar team)

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.
