Pros
*Market-competitive salary, *Low demands for work product and quality, *Opportunities for relocation, *A handful of very smart colleagues (but only a handful)
Cons
*Legacy and tenure is highly valued and praised over good work, intelligence and ideas, *Mid-career hires are viewed as providing little-to-no-value as they do not come from the Caterpillar culture and way of life, and are actively judged and have comments made about them, *Poor quality work in high volumes is valued over high quality work, *The company is in a time of change, where many non-HQ team leads are kicking and screaming in protest (so to speak) to the required changes, which makes everyone's job unnecessarily more difficult, *Beware HQ culture (there is none) and inappropriate employee attitudes / behavior, *Inexcusably poor behavior by managers (verbal abuse, passive aggressive digs, gossip and degrading comments, etc are not abnormal)
