Caterpillar is such a large company that there are many career and development opportunities. The culture is collaborative and respectful. The compensation and benefits are extremely competitive.
Cons
Many employees have been at the company a long time so you sometimes face resistance to change. It can feel bureaucratic and restrictve at times. Work-life balance can be a challenge due to the global nature of the business.

At Caterpillar, we work each day to provide a rewarding environment and experience for our teammates. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on how we do just that!
Poorly thought out placement- I was put on a team across the country from where i lived the entired team was new to caterpillar because their company was bought out by cat. They had never had any form of intern before and didnt have anyone else who was remote other then me. Because of time differences the manager reguarly expected me to work off the clock but wouldnt give me project during work hours.
No room for growth within team i was stuck to- i asked on multiple occasions how i could stand out and get a permanent position within cat since i was one semester from grafuating and was told by multiple people to just deal with my current role and leave cat because "the only real way to get in is if you work as temp worker and they just hapoen to decide to bring u on internally from that"
