      Engineering Interview

      Apr 30, 2009
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Caterpillar in Feb 2009

      Interview

      The interview process consisted on two individual interviews with two recruiters. The interview was more of a personality test, with each interview lasting about 30 minutes or so. The recruiters were laid back and typed everything that you said into their computers. After the interviews, I did not hear anything back from the recruiters. They did not tell me why they did not give an offer or anything. I emailed the recruiter and did not get any response back at all.
