What don't you like about working at Caterpillar?

"Onboarding was very unstructured and inconsistent, completely depending on who you're lucky enough to have train you. I have enough control of my work freedom, but unfortunately not enough to do! Company operates very decentralized and too much time is spent arguing over intercompany costs. Company is almost too large - inefficient with costs, labor, and adjusting to any change. As much as the company tries to recruit best talent, it is not a good fit for young professionals. Company facilities are almost exclusively located in small towns/cities."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Give constructive criticism when needed, but not being overly and unnecessarily critical of others especially in front of my staff."
