Pros

Oshkosh offers great benefits, including health and life insurance, a good 401k structure, excellent PTO, and for some, a flexible work environment. Knowing your company designs, produces, delivers, and services vehicles that save lives around the world is just icing on the cake.

Cons

While there are good people at the top, and the company's "People First" initiative has led to improvements, Oshkosh's hierarchical nature can make the organization confusing and difficult to navigate in certain circumstances. This mentioned hierarchical nature might be due, in part, to the company's long history and well-established chain of command, which can both be seen as positive things.
