the company had vacancy for the post of section manager .as a part of the selection, the interview process in which i participated was not good. I feel that it could have been better conducted by the company themselves
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Caterpillar (Decatur, IL) in Aug 2018

STAR interview style with three interviewers.
