I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Caterpillar in Oct 2010
Interview
The company relies mostly on how well the candidate can fit in a group rather than their technical depth. They check for the experiences of the candidate in their previous teams and strongly believe in team building. The thought process seems to be that a low technical knowledge need not be a hindrance if the candidate can learn from others as long as he/she is willing to put in the effort.
