I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Caterpillar (Peterborough, England) in July 2024
Interview
Interviewers made me feel very relaxed and comfortable. Had opportunities to discuss my most relevant and notable experiences and challenges. Also had opportunities to ask questions about the role and the business.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Caterpillar (Tucson, AZ) in May 2019
Interview
They were very disorganized in the scheduling. They got the time wrong and scheduled the interview in the wrong time zone. Hiring manager and his associates acted like they really didn't want to be there, didn't know or care much about the product technically, and weren't interested in me and my knowledge and skills and what I would bring to the team. The overall impression I had was that they were not very bright, were rushed, and didn't want to be interviewing a candidate. I never heard back from them, I followed up a week later for an update as to whether they want to move forward or not. I received only a response of "We will let you know". I never heard back again. Very unprofessional organization.
