I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Caterpillar in Sep 2024
Interview
The interview process was very easy. The first round was with the Recruiter and then a few weeks later was with the hiring team. After interviewing with the hiring team I received a email from the hiring manager saying they decided to internally hire a person that was already in the role. So they wasted not only my time, but also the other candidates time. If you knew you were going to hire an internal candidate than why the hiring manager did not do that instead. Sorry Caterpillar Inc, you screwed up and made a bad first impression.

I applied online. I interviewed at Caterpillar (Peoria, IL) in Jan 2022
Interview
It was easy, the interviewer was nice. Overall good process. I did not receive an offer though, which is ok. I am going to apply again for the full time position when I graduate, instead of the internship.
