      Materials Team Student Intern Interview

      14 Aug 2011
      Anonymous employee
      Champaign, IL
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Caterpillar (Champaign, IL) in Apr 2010

      Interview

      The office administrator called and e-mailed me after I applied for the position. She was very easy to talk to and let me pick when the time of the interview. The actual interview last a little over an hour. It consisted of many behavioral questions. Such as, "name a time you used a concept you learned in the classroom and later applied it to solve a problem in real life. I wish there were more technical questions about engineering fundamentals. One of the two interviewers asked a couple quick technical questions at the very end but it maybe accounted for 5% of the interview. Overall, the interviewers were very respectful and attentive.

      Question 1
