Dated Approach

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Stable company financially and a Fortune 500 member. Highly respected within the heavy equipment industry and customers. Role movement within the company or functional areas is not discouraged.

Cons

Their approach to business and employees is very dated and they only change at the last minute when they feel they are forced to. Salary figures have not kept up with the Seattle area cost of living. Dress code at the corporate office dictates a suit and clean shaven. The office spaces are extremely dated. Software tools are kept to the level of a minimum viable product. Working from home policy is very restrictive. All of this contrasts against the tech heavy employment landscape of the Seattle area.

Low risk, low reward

Business Outlook

Pros

Company is very stable and financially responsible (they’ve made a profit every quarter for almost 80 years); lots of opportunities to move around and experience different roles and parts of the business

Cons

You won’t be highly paid, unless you achieve executive status and get IC (potentially). A lot of processes are in place, which makes doing things differently very difficult and many other employees are adverse to change and will resist it and prefer to keep doing things the same way.

Pros

Money is great. Supervisors are cool and understanding.

Cons

Every function has a rate. A lot of repetitiveness.
