      Manufacturing Engineering Interview

      24 Dec 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Peterborough, England
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Caterpillar (Peterborough, England) in Nov 2021

      Interview

      Usually there would be a psychometric assessment but it wasn't the case for this company you just have to apply and hand in cv. Once they decide your application is successful, you'll upload to their portal a series of online videos of you answering five questions about yourself. This is to get to know you before they offer a face to face assessment centre. Unfortunately due to high competition, I didn't qualify to the next stage and therefore I'm not sure what comes after this stage.

      Question 1

      What interests you in working with caterpillar? How do you know you're a good fit for the role? What made you chose this field/industry? Tell us about a time where you had to adapt and improve yourself? Tell us about a project that proved challenging where you were able to overcome.

      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Caterpillar (Champaign, IL) in Jan 2018

      Interview

      It was a pretty straightforward interview process. It was similar to a standard behavioral interview with questions about working in a team, problem-solving, and applicable skills. It was an hour long, as you would speak to two engineers for half an hour each.
