I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Caterpillar (Peoria, IL) in May 2012
Interview
Lots of situation questions based on the STAR interview style. Had one interview with HR person that was an hour long. Then I was invited to do an onsite interview with three different hiring managers that were an hour each. Also STAR based interviews, but nothing too technical. Everything was straightforward and the process was well communicated.
