      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Caterpillar

      Interview

      First interview over the phone on August 2019. Didn't make it to the second round. Interviewer made it clear enough with her line of questioning why she passed. Good experience.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Caterpillar

      Interview

      Standard behavioral interview. Lots of "tell me about a time..." questions. Interviewer was transcribing answers onto paper with STAR format, so important to articulate each part of answer. (Situation, Task, Action, Result) Interviewer also gave “lifeline” where if you did not like the question asked, they would give you another one in the same category.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Tell me about a time you when you came up with an innovative solution to a problem.
