I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Caterpillar in Oct 2019
Interview
Caterpillar conducts interview directly off of the STAR method. They want to hear an experience, engineering or not, and how you conducted yourself. It is strange because they spend most of the time typing your response into a system but its pretty standard.
