Work life balance is there if you seek it. Good people overall.
Cons
Changing direction every couple of years. Lack of clarity on vision in general. A lot of great people have left the company and leaving everyday.

Thank you for taking the time to provide such valuable feedback! When decisions are made at the top many factors come into play; one of them is the way it will impact all our employees. We believe every single Caterpillar employee moves our company forward, so we appreciate your comments and sticking with us through our times of growth.
Poorly thought out placement- I was put on a team across the country from where i lived the entired team was new to caterpillar because their company was bought out by cat. They had never had any form of intern before and didnt have anyone else who was remote other then me. Because of time differences the manager reguarly expected me to work off the clock but wouldnt give me project during work hours.
No room for growth within team i was stuck to- i asked on multiple occasions how i could stand out and get a permanent position within cat since i was one semester from grafuating and was told by multiple people to just deal with my current role and leave cat because "the only real way to get in is if you work as temp worker and they just hapoen to decide to bring u on internally from that"
