Caterpillar – “Caterpillar is a great place to work if you want a life outside of your career”

Pros

The environment of friendly people. People are genuinely concerned for each other, and overall there is not a sense of competition but of support and encouragement for each other. There is a good diversity in ethnicity, gender, and age, and everyone is very welcoming in the office environment.

Cons

Location, sometimes the politics get in the way, and people want to make their mark on the company, even if it is with an aweful decision. Caterpillar allows a lot of bad decisions to be made without any discipline or feedback to the person who pushes the bad decision. Some of the jobs are very boring and unchallenging.
