Great interview process was able to get clear instructions and undertakings of the job I was interviewing for. Also was able to ask questions I had with our hesitation and got clear answers to the questions I was asking
They ask about your work experience. It was with two interviewers. They were very friendly, and it wasn't intimidating. It was also an online interview, which I was surprised about, but maybe it was due to the weather. I was interviewing with the Seguin facility, where they make engines.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Caterpillar (Lafayette, IN) in Feb 2010
Interview
Three interviews in the same day with three different people. Pretty laid back with very basic questions. Then you go in to an office with a supervisor and he asks more technical questions.
