Caterpillar is the world's largest manufacturer of construction and mining equipment, diesel and natural gas engines, industrial gas turbines, and locomotives — a 100-year-old industrial icon now reinventing itself as the power infrastructure backbone of the AI era. With $69+ billion in 2025 revenue, a record $51 billion backlog, and explosive growth in data center power generation, Caterpillar interviews are heavily behavioral and weighted toward safety mindset, hands-on problem solving, customer focus, and the STAR method — candidates who can connect their experiences to Caterpillar's five Values in Action (Integrity, Excellence, Teamwork, Commitment, Sustainability) tend to advance.
