Caterpillar reviews

The Company has high values

The company is going backwards in terms of progress. It began in late 2024 with their reversal of DEI polices. Then announced a week before Christmas, while most people were already on vacation, that Resource Industries would be returning to mandatory 5 days a week in office starting in Feb 2025. It all felt very off-putting because they never sent any written communication about this new policy, and when the Vice President (Tim Crane) was asked directly if we would be getting written communication about the change in a town hall meeting, we were told directly that written communication would NOT be sent and to discuss it further with your individual manager (who when asked, also didn't know what was going on). Then in April 2025 a new CEO steps in (Joe Creed) and now the entire company (100k+ employees) is returning to mandatory 5 days a week in the office starting June 2025. The company has always put focus in the past on having a great work life balance and this is emphasised on annual employee surveys.
