I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Caterpillar (Chennai) in Aug 2013
Interview
Basically, for the first round, questions were related to coding, general aptitude, and verbal aptitude. Good thing is that there was no writing of snippets but just MCQs. Coding questions section was of most importance, where a single, lengthy code was given and the output was to be guessed for different statements given.
The second round was GD. Actually seems easy but this is the round where they downsized the shortlisted people into half.
The last round was HR. Make sure you know all about the projects you have mentioned in the resume, because they pose questions only based on the information poured in there.
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.
