I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Caterpillar (Iowa City, IA) in Sept 2017
Interview
I had an on campus interview and it was all behavioral and they use STAR. It was two separate interviews with two employers each lasting 30 minutes.
Its good to prepare for the interview by understanding how to answer the questions using STAR and preparing behavioral question responses.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is your favorite and least favorite class and why?
I applied online. I interviewed at Caterpillar in Jan 2026
Interview
1 hour with 2 interviewers. There were about 5-6 questions, and you MUST follow the STAR method. They seemed to be taking extensive notes between each question. They also said if I didn't like the question that I could ask for an alternative question as the questions were meant to learn a specific trait about me.

Star interview process for the entire interview. lasted for about an hour and a half, very kind people. If you need more time to respond they give it to you and you can ask to repeat any question is needed.
