I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Caterpillar (Peoria, IL) in Aug 2015
Interview
I interviewed for a full time engineering position in the engineering rotational development program after my summer internship. I interviewed with three managers, and each interview focused on answering STAR interview questions. The managers came from different product/research areas to get an idea of which engineering I should join. There were not many technical questions; perhaps they rely on performance during the internship to evaluate technical abilities.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Caterpillar (Tiruvallūr) in May 2026
Interview
Typically, candidates will participate in two distinct rounds of interviews. The first round will focus on assessing your technical skills and knowledge. Following that, the second round will delve into behavioral aspects to understand your work style and how you approach different situations. We believe this approach allows for a comprehensive evaluation.
They use the STAR interview processs. Situation, task, analysis and results of specific examples. You will need to come up with very specific examples and how they turned out. Google the process will help a lot
