Pros

Lots of opportunity all over the world. You can live in many locations and even see remote parts of the world visiting customers. Pay is fair and the bonus system is very lucrative.

Cons

Lots of internal red tape. Several processes are outdated or too complicated. IT can sometimes get in the way of getting work done. There are alot of people that have to process every change to make sure the customers get what the need.

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"
