I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Caterpillar (Champaign, IL) in May 2012
Interview
There are only behavioral questions in the interview. When have you gone beyond the call of duty? Tell me a time when you were a leader? Tell me about a time where you had somebody difficult to work with in a group and how did you handle the situation? Pretty basic/expected stuff. Having hands on experience and or design experience would definitely help to get this internship.

Question 1
They are all behavior based. If you look up behavioral questions online you should be fine as long as you prepare.
I applied online. I interviewed at Caterpillar in Jan 2026
Interview
1 hour with 2 interviewers. There were about 5-6 questions, and you MUST follow the STAR method. They seemed to be taking extensive notes between each question. They also said if I didn't like the question that I could ask for an alternative question as the questions were meant to learn a specific trait about me.

They asked me how I did decide what college I wanted to go to.
Star interview process for the entire interview. lasted for about an hour and a half, very kind people. If you need more time to respond they give it to you and you can ask to repeat any question is needed.
