I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Caterpillar (Peoria, IL) in Aug 2009
Interview
Started as an intern, worked my butt off and got hired at the end of the summer. Interview was a day long with 3 separate people. It was intense, but was more laid back because I had met everyone during my internship and could refer to familiar experiences.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
It's all experience-based questions... "Tell me about a time when_____." Fill in the blank. These are like "when someone on your team wasn't pulling his weight." or "when you had to solve a problem given limited time/information." You are expected to recall such an experience and give a reasoned response in how you solved the problem.
It was pretty good but not the best. They asked me a lot of questions during the interview but it was mostly behavioral. I had one interview on campus and then I got an offer
The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Caterpillar
Interview
