How is everything holding up? Heard they are laying off people. Is the exec board still gooning to the RTO?

I am thinking to join caterpillar Bengaluru next month in CAT digital data science, is it safe to join right now, considering 5 years outlook?

I know this has been brought up several times, but every time this post comes up, the answers are always all over the place. Please only respond if you have the most up to date information.

Question: Does corporate <not union> still test for THC in the pre-screening job application? I am asking about states where there are no laws restricting the employer from discriminating.

Bonus Question: Are corporate employees randomly drug tested for THC?

If you have current experience or knowledge on this question, please comment!

Does Caterpillar allow high schoolers to job shadow for a week or two over the summer to get some exposure (specifically to Engineering career possibilities)?

I know that they have paid internships-I’m not looking for anything like that. Ty!

The ad went down 2 weeks ago. How long does it take for HR to email usually? I feel like I wasn’t selected and I just want to look elsewhere, but the job sounds so cool to me. It still says in process
On the website.

I reached out to a recruiter about a month ago for a position in Illinois. I signed a form, and she said caterpillar has shortlisted my application, I will be getting an interview soon. That I and another person are in consideration for the job.

But caterpillar has stopped all communication. I call the recruiter and she says the caterpillar hasn’t reached out to them yet. Is this normal?

So I put an app in last Friday, and got a call with a phone screening on Monday, and my interview is scheduled for next week. I guess that is a good thing if it is moving that fast? How are the benefits like in the corporate irving location? Dress code? All that fun stuff?

For those at CAT, is it possible to setup semimonthly direct deposit payments, or are we strictly limited to monthly?
