I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Caterpillar (Bengaluru) in Jan 2023
Interview
First resume shortlist process. Once shortlist they call for interview. Technical interview and Hr interview. In the technical interview they ask mostly related to resume. HR interview as usual they discuss related to CTC
There were two stages of the technical interview and interview with manager. In the first stage, we discussed the basics of Java. There was a live coding session, and I solved the problem.
In the second stage, we discussed the issue of ConcurrentModificationException with iterators in collections. The rest of the discussion focused on Spring.
In the third stage, there was a discussion with the project manager.
I received the offer immediately after completing the third stage.

Interview
The interviewer was being racist.
I was part of 3 rounds;
Round 1: Screening Call (30 minutes - with Sumeet Kapoor and Interviewer 2). Interviewer 2 Asking normal screening questions about my experience and Sumeet Kapoor was just asking me why I was working on CPT?
Round 2: HackerRank Technical Assessment(LC medium). I was able to pass with a 100% score with ease because I was preparing for Amazon interviews.
Round 3: Technical One-on-One with Sumeet Kapoor (1 hour): I was asked to do peer programming on HackerRank. I passed all the test cases on my own. (Initially, I made a minor mistake in the code, for which Sumeet suggested 2 solutions—any of them did not work.) I changed the whole approach, and I passed all the test cases.
We had 25 minutes left after this for Technical questions. But he asked only 2 questions and again came to the screening call, asking why I was working on CPT. I answered it again in detail, but his behavior showed that he was being racist to me and ended the interview.
The main thing: During the interview, he went away from the camera screen a couple of times. That clearly indicates that He was not interested in taking my interview properly.
