Pros

It's nice to work for a leader and a recognized company. It has good recognition to have on your resume - it makes you more desirable to the employment market.

Cons

Employees are not highly valued - they are one more lever that can be pulled to make the quarterly numbers. The work environment has significantly deteriorated over the last 7-8 years. It feels like Cat is trying to lose the superior employer image it had and striving for normal or average turn-over rates. Don't expect any loyalty - that's just the way it is.

Pros

You are treated with autonomy, dignity, and respect. It is assumed you know how to do your job and are given the trust and means to do so. Compensation is above market value. Uncapped professional growth if you know how to play your cards right.

Cons

Working at Burger King and living from my car in Northern Michigan during the middle of winter was preferable to working on-site in Peoria. Project work was inherently meaningless and dictated almost entirely by the caste system this company has in Central, IL. My relocation had absolutely nothing to do with the role at hand and was a power play by management to get me to become a bleed-yellow Peorian in the CAT-corporate social club. The company loyalty here is absolutely disgusting and has nothing to do with the viability of the brand or product. Everyone is enamored with the status and wealth they've attained on account of not performing hard, manual, life-threatening labor. You would be hard-pressed to find anyone who actually cares about what goes on in the defense division or addressing the geopolitical anomalies between the former headquarters and the new business direction of the company.
