Pros

as a heavy equipment manufacturer, it provides almost all engineering disciplines for an engineer. so it is a good place for an engineer to furnish your engineering skills. Also, pay is competitive.

Cons

life in Peoria may be boring for some people, as it is a small city in central Illinois. Recent layoff is frightening.

Great company to work for. I had a blast working for this company. I was given major assignments and My boss was good at good at sending us for training. This company invests a lot of money in R&D.

Cons

It's a bit hard to break the old practice, but I would recommend Caterpillar to anyone who is looking for a place to grow professionally.

Pros

Everyone was very friendly, willing to help you with anything you needed. Many opportunities to learn about the company and the industry. Field trips and special presentations were made for all interns.

Cons

It can sometimes be hard to get in touch with people who are crucial to a project you are working on. There were also several days were there was little or nothing to do. It got a little boring at times.
