Business Outlook
Pros
The company has a strong legacy of performance and interesting products. The culture values and rewards product knowledge over process knowledge compared to Caterpillar at large.
Cons
Some employees are overly complacent, and in general the company enjoys a comfortable dominance in the market. The company needs to develop new products and markets to diversify away from its heavy dependence on the energy industry responsible for much of the cyclicality in the business. The culture can be very politicized, which makes it difficult to stay agile and make quick decisions.
