Business outlook
Pros
Much opportunity to move horizontally and vertically throughout your career. They want to hire employees and retain them for a career rather than a job. Excellent pay and good benefits. A respected company to place on a resume if you do choose to move on later in your career.
Cons
Bureaucracy is certainly present at times but it goes along with a large organization. Many people are not crazy about Peoria, IL but Caterpillar obviously has offices throughout the world. Culture can be very "old school". Generational gaps are apparent at times considering many people have worked there for 20-30 years.
