I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Caterpillar (Lafayette, IN) in Feb 2018
Interview
Met with a recruiter at a career fair. Had an in-person interview. Interviewer was very nice and easy to talk to. Completely STAR based questions, so were looking more for behavior than actual position-based information.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Q: Tell me about a time that you learned from your failure.
Q: Describe a stressful situation you were in and how you handled it.
Q: Tell me about a time when you performed well under enormous pressure
Reached out to me and scheduled an interview with a recruiter, then did a teams interview with a panel of engineers to learn about what specific team I would fit into. The process is quite slow and takes a while, but it is worth the wait.
