Caterpillar reviews

CAT over-hired and over-paid during COVID rebound and are low on cost cutting options with 47’s tariffs (but glad to support the ballroom boondoggle). Meanwhile, they’re bring forced to prop up their overpriced commercial real estate leases since many of their institutional investors own these buildings. So they aim to cut headcount and save cost by forcing RTO. Twenty year expert veterans of the company are leaving for refusing to wear diapers while mediocrity sticks around. Not exactly a winning long term strategy. When I get a “Straight from Joe” note, it goes straight to the trash.

Lots of re-orgs, people are promoted through who they know not by their quality of work or knowledge, so much bloat as usual for a large company, not a lot of room for growth in the tech space and very stagnant when it comes to growth and adoption of new tech and processes, lack of accountability with employees- lots of projects take much longer due to being pushed around because no one wants to own them or work on them, process is so heavy and a complete mess, RTO is strictly enforced for some but not others. This is a place people will stay for years and just coast the rest of their career, so not a lot of passion or innovation in areas.
