I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Caterpillar (Ames, IA) in Sep 2017
Interview
The whole interview was star based questions most of which are the basic "tell me about a time when.." The interviewer was kind and specified that I was aloud to take moment to think about questions before I answered. The interview was an hour long. Half an hour was spent with one interviewer and the other half with other.

I applied online. I interviewed at Caterpillar in Jan 2026
Interview
1 hour with 2 interviewers. There were about 5-6 questions, and you MUST follow the STAR method. They seemed to be taking extensive notes between each question. They also said if I didn't like the question that I could ask for an alternative question as the questions were meant to learn a specific trait about me.
