What to check before working with Caterpillar Inc.
Caterpillar Inc. needs a three-way read: H-1B pay (279 LCAs), safety (grade A), and WARN history (1 notice); none of those alone is the rating.
- H-1B median is $114,738 across 220 disclosed-wage positions (of 279 total filings), benchmark any offer against it and the metro prevailing wage. Compare with peers
- Safety grade A reflects a DART rate read against the Other Services average of 1.42 - a relative benchmark, not an absolute verdict. How grades work
- 1 WARN layoff notice on file, review the timing before counting on job stability. Reading WARN notices
Caterpillar Inc.'s figures are legally filed public records (DOL, OSHA, state WARN), not reviews or vendor estimates; a missing row is not proof the underlying activity never happened.
