I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Caterpillar (Larne, Nordirland) in Feb 2025
Interview
There was the initial resume screening after which there was a pre recorded interview with four questions. And then an in person group assessment then the final in person interview.
one online aptitude test where it is more logic questions than mathematical, then a video interview where they ask behavioral questions, after that you get invited for one more interview
Had a panel interview that was scheduled for 60 minutes, they told me they usually go 75 minutes. Was told that I would receive feedback within a week and never heard back from them. I followed up with the recruiter 3 times via email and never heard back. 3 weeks later, I received an automated rejection email on a Saturday morning. Total lack of respect by Caterpillar. I took time out of my day to interview, they could have at least responded to my emails.
