I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Caterpillar (Wamego, KS) in Jan 2010
Interview
This was some time ago, but I believe it was largely a behavioral based interview in which they asked fairly typical questions (e.g. describe a time when you failed, when you suceeded, why you'd be good for this position, etc.)
