Pros
You have an opportunity to work in diverse applications - mining, construction, marine, rail, oil& gas, power, paving, etc. Can gain experience in different areas by just being at one company.
Cons
Career progression can be a challenge. Good bonus which is unpredictable, but not a great year performance or pay raise structure - sub par compared to other industries. Lot more conservative in adopting new technologies and more risk averse in trying out latest technology. Like to carry the old baggage with them on new product design and not willing to let go outdate technology.
