Pros

-good work-life balance -friendly office culture

Cons

- Lot of politics carried out by senior employees to suppress junior employees in their teams - Some managers are least bothered about the dirty politics existing in their sub teams. They behave more like supervisors/managers of service based companies. Thus, no efforts are done to maintain the integrity of teams in comparison to other fortune 100 product based companies. - Slow growth and minimal yearly hikes - No standards to measure monthly recognitions in some teams - Negligible on-site opportunities for female full time employees - All these reasons have led to high attrition rate among full time employees in Caterpillar recently.

Pros

Good health insurance and benefits, good yearly bonuses. The pay is good.

Cons

They are enforcing returning to office by any means necessary. They have lost many high-quality producers who have refused to relocate or refuse to come in. Here's the kicker - they are requiring in-person attendance at the Chicago office and there aren't even enough desks for everyone. It would be a literal fire hazard if we all came into the Chicago office at the same time, M-F, during business hours. No one knows how or if they are going to actually enforce this. Cost of gas is insane, Joe doesn't care about the workers. Or the work for that matter. It's obvious this is a soft layoff, they have made a bunch of people quit. Their internal design agency is falling apart, lots of people have quit, not only because of return to office but because of the toxic politics, favoritism, and lack of direction and accountability. Mediocre workers are allowed to keep their jobs ONLY because of their ability to put their bodies in a chair and work in-person. The other relocation option HR gave besides Chicago was Peoria. No one wants to live in Peoria for any reason whatsoever, be for real.
