Working at Caterpillar in Peoria, IL: 74 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Peoria, IL Area

"During my short term in Caterpillar, I found the leadership structure of the company to be robust."

"Good Place to work with good engineers"

"I have worked for Caterpillar for 20 years. After 2011, the company moved away from the focus on employees and has pushed all focus into shareholders. The communications state that employees are number 1, but the actions of the company are the opposite. The reviews on this site appear to be mostly from hourly workers who are either hoping to get a job or have recently started. Ignore anything from Deerfield - that is where out top executives have moved (after having their multi-million dollar houses bought out by the company). I still have hope for this company long-term, but until they recognize that the employees are what create long-term value and until they start being honest with communications both inside and outside the company, I cannot recommend Caterpillar as a good place to work."

"Worked as a consultant for 6 months. Lots of money flowing through projects without solid ROI or metrics for measurement. I expected more from a manufacturer. Internal employees fear daily they will be laid off, so less than inclusive or collaborative. People try to hoard information to be relevant and valuable. Sit at their desks wearing headphones not speaking to each other."

"Very user friendly UI for job application and very unique and creative too"

"Very good company to start your career"

"I have worked for companies & various kind of people in different scenario,love doing the office environment culture, respect each other."

"I worked for caterpillar since 2018. The company has good understanding and relationship with their dealers. The company is worldwide and in 500 locations."

"Nice and great environment to work here as a potential candidate"

"Truly Excellent company!!"

"Excellent work experience, nice environment, love staff around me."

"This company is very political and management heavy. I worked at the Athens facility. One person can turn everything you do into a negative. It did matter if you ask one person can destroy your career. I went exclusively to be close to family. They knew this, promise a review in 30 days. The review happened after 5 months, then they invited you to a conference room, you were let go after no review in the period they promised."

"Typical big company environment."

"Awesome workplace experience but not good for contractors. One advice, learn as much a you can and leave."

"I worked with Caterpillar for 6 years, it's a great place work and learn."
