I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Caterpillar (Peoria, IL) in Mar 2012
Interview
Applied through university career services then had a first interview, 1:1 on campus. Was invited to a second interview in Peoria about 3 weeks later. Stayed the night before in a nice hotel and went out to a nice meal with a host employee and other interviewees. There were 3 1:1 interviews, a drug test, and a plant tour. The interviews were relaxed, low stress, with typical STAR questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when you had a conflict with a co-worker or peer and how you resolved it.
