Pros

Absolutely nothing, Caterpillar is essentially level 0 in terms of data analytics preparedness.

Cons

It's a joke to think Caterpillar even has a data analytics department. The Accenture experiment with Morgan was a bust. Uptake was a bust. Caterpillar can't buy a data analytic win (and if they could they would!). Any data scientists still in the enterprise should find jobs outside that will pay roughly 20-30% more while keeping comparable benefits.

Pros

Good pay Some people in the company are great

Cons

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"
