I applied through university. I interviewed at Caterpillar (Bengaluru) in Aug 2023
Interview
Online aptitude test Online coding test GD Technical + HR Interview First two rounds were online amcat tests, the first one was mostly aptitude and English, easily doable and the second one was two very easy and direct coding questions (although not everyone got same questions, some got dynamic programming). Keep timing in mind. Around 100 people were shortlisted for GD round. GD was basic and I think almost a good 50-70 people made it to interviews. My interview was more of a discussion, they asked everything from the resume and asked about projects and my work experience. It went really well, however, my preference for role and location did not match. Didn't make it. (My interviewers were very nice. Some other people were asked thing as OOPS, merge sort and SQL queries)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Explain any project from your resume Further questions based on resume NoSQL vs SQL difference
I interviewed at Caterpillar (Monterrey, Nuevo León)
Interview
Proceso rápido y ágil, se espera buena experiencia técnica en esta área al menos en el puesto aplicado, entrevista dura y con varias personas. Se te pide un buen nivel de inglés y debes de demostrarlo en entrevista
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Caterpillar (Chennai) in Feb 2026
Interview
It was nice, there were 2 panels who were taking an interview, a maximum of the questions were from the ML topics, Genai, LLMs, etc., and resume questions, the only confusing things for me was that i have asnwerd all the question though there were no call for the job, and also do the SQL they ask to write sql quaries.
