"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."
