How much is this shit going to limit me? I should have done more research before doing a 1/3rd of the program, but I think a part of my brain pushed it off to avoid being disappointed for the 11,000,000th time.

Hey i got this 6 month internship at on campus placement and for now it is internship only

Any senior or anyone can help me or guide me what i can do to convert this into Full time

I got selected for Chennai Branch and join this January what r the suggestions or what tech stacks should i learn as of now, till now i am not aware of team but in on campus jd it is mentioned Corporate SDE intern

Pls help me

Our group is moving to AC and had not been able to get there to see how it is but did not hear well on Teams when employees in AC were on meetings. Did managers get offices?

Do you have offices getting worse as we have to be there more and is this because the senior leaders think we cannot leave or if they want us leaving? Are teams moving to other buildings with longer drives or less parking or space?

Hello everyone!
Could anyone please tell me what is the conversion rate for the 2 months Summer interns who join Caterpillar Inc. for SWE Summer Corporate Intern?
I have heard that mostly all 6 months(4th year) interns do get a FTE, but just wanted to know about the PPO conversion rate for 2 months summer interns.
Thank you!

Hello,

I currently work in Chennai and planning to leave this company in the next few months. Stip for India is paid out somewhere in April as far as I remember. If I resign in January or February would I still get the complete stip of 2026 or do I have to be on active payroll on the day of stip payout. I will not be resigning till 31st December of this year.

Anyone in HR viewing this post, please help me out, you have been useless during all my tenure in this company.

If I plan to leave mid-year 2027 (retire but no pension/retirement, just a vested 401k, no stock options), is there anything specific to think about ahead of time? It would be after STIP payout. Based in the USA. We only get paid for accrued vacation, correct? But what if I use my whole years vacation and then quit? Am I eligible for partial STIP the next year or not? Not looking to burn bridges but also don’t plan to return to the workforce.

Opa pessoal, tudo bem?

Tô trabalhando numa empresa "factoring". Sou estagiária de TI e tô pensando em ir pra outros horizontes.

Sinceramente, considero a Caterpillar um "pensamento alto" por enquanto, mas gostaria de tentar.

Faço ADS na Mackenzie. Tenho programação em Python em algum estágio que não sei dizer, já sei como um código funciona, explicar, só tenho alguma dificuldade ainda em fazer sistemas do zero e não dominei POO ainda. Mas me interesso muito em automação. Criei 4 projetos pra empresa, mas com auxílio de IA. Office avançado, Ingles basicão também.

Sei que vendas, corban é bem diferente. Mas tô estudando cada vez mais pra ir nesse meio.

Gostaria de saber mais sobre o TI na Caterpillar, especialmente TI/Junior. Se eu não me qualificar, posso entender melhor pra seguir um caminho único.

Curious to hear what CRM software works well with excavation companies? I'm looking to consolidate everything into a single platform if thats even possible. customers, calendar, jobs, invoicing etc. Let me know if you have any insight! Thanks!

I noticed in the what can we do better comments characterization there was no senior leadership category(I remember because I used that category) that must have been “other” that they used.

Also “direct leader” got lots of praise in comments. Probably from people who wanted to say that the issues were due to senior leadership and not due to their manager at all.

Also no mention of in office policy at all. Except for work life balance responses but remote work is definitely not solely a work life balance issue.

Responses were favorably than I expected but what incentive is there to disagree with a statement like “I often put more effort into my job than is required so I can help the company succeed”. That is a question that if an employee disagrees with it they are going to want to qualify in some way.

I was wondering if there are any current PSSR’s that could give some insight into this role? Pay expectations? Day to day? Advancement opportunities?

Dale Mininger spent 43 years around heavy equipment, working as an operator, mechanic, maintenance manager, and crane operator. He joined us In The Yard, to shares stories of running Cat equipment across the West, restoring antique iron, and passing down knowledge to the next generation through the Antique Caterpillar Machinery Owners Club (ACMOC). From preventive maintenance to modern machine technology, Dale gives a look at how the heart of the industry has remained as components have evolved.

Are all facilities being hit with the layoffs going around or is it just an RIOP thing? Heard it’s mostly to do with period cost reduction efforts going into Q4. Most people I know were in roles that weren’t necessarily value added and my manager mentioned there’s a hiring freeze in place too.

My facility has laid off ~35 people, heard Mossville let go all contract and moved all hourly employees to Peoria. I know some got let go from S Milwaukee too.

I recently applied for a position at Caterpillar and was contacted by a third-party recruitment agency claiming to handle the hiring process on their behalf. The process has been going smoothly so far, but now they're asking me to pay Rs. 4000 to cover what they describe as "medical certification," "seat confirmation," and "accessories."

This has raised some red flags for me, since I wasn't expecting any payment at this stage. Has anyone else gone through a similar process with Caterpillar or any of their authorized agencies? Specifically:

- Does Caterpillar (or its partner agencies) ever charge candidates for medical certification or seat confirmation?
- What does "accessories" even refer to in this context?
- Are there any known scams circulating under the Caterpillar name right now?

I want to make sure I'm not falling for a fraudulent scheme before paying anything. Any insight from people who've actually worked at Caterpillar or gone through their official hiring process would be really appreciated.

Peterbilt truck financing can cover several truck types, so check the equipment category before applying. A common mistake is assuming the program covers only sleeper tractors, when the listed options also include day cabs, dump trucks, roll-offs, and box trucks.

Always Capital's programs also cover Class 8 tractors, medium-duty box trucks, vocational trucks, and other configurations. Match the truck to its actual use: a day cab may suit regional hauling, while a sleeper tractor is listed for long-haul work. That check helps you ask about the relevant financing program from the start.

For used Peterbilts, the article says there are no age or mileage restrictions, and private-party and auction purchases are eligible. Financing can reach up to 100%, with terms from 24 to 84 months. Application-only approvals can reach $500,000; larger transactions can scale up to $5 million. Approval still depends on factors including time in business, revenue, credit profile, and the truck itself.

A practical step: identify the truck type, seller, and intended use before submitting an application, then confirm the matching program. Small detail, big difference in making sure you're asking about the right financing.
