      Applications Engineer Interview

      Jul 16, 2010
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Caterpillar in Aug 2008

      Interview

      I lived in the area, otherwise CAT will put you up in a decent hotel the evening before hand. You will have an interview host (A CAT employee, who works in a job similar to yours, and has gone through interview host training) who will show you around the area and take you out to dinner that evening. They use STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) interviewing method. I had 3 one hour interviews with three different CAT employees (In my case engineers and engineering managers) spread throughout the entire day. The interview host will also buy you lunch the day of your interview as well.
