I applied online. I interviewed at Caterpillar in Feb 2021
Interview
The interview was conducted online via Microsoft Teams. I was selected to interview from my college's career fair. Both of the interviewers had their cameras off which made me feel uncomfortable. They were also 15 minutes late for the interview. They asked generic, non-technical questions.

Question 1
What is the one thing you have done till now of which you are proud?
Caterpillar uses the STAR, situation, task, action, result question answer format. You may be asked to share examples of what you have done, but I haven't heard of anyone getting a test on software development.
The STAR answers you give should highlight your capabilities. Remember to give results, and talk about what you did
