I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at John Deere (Moline, IL) in Oct 2011
Interview
I was flown out to Moline, IL for my second round interview. They flew a lot of people from all over the country to come visit their headquarters in Moline.
The interview consisted of two interviewers interviewing me for about 50 minutes each. The kinds of questions they asked follow their STAR method of interviewing. If you look up the STAR method and practice it a little bit you will be fine.

I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at John Deere (Atlanta, GA) in Sept 2025
Interview
They used the STAR method in a pretty basic interview, not much technical depth but they wanted to hear technical project experience. There were two interviewers, and the interview lasted around an hour.
Used STAR method, and questions were pretty normal about projects, past experiences, and college clubs/student organizations. Got back relatively quickly with word that I wouldn’t be going to a second round interview

2 weeks after applying got contacted to do a phone-screen with an engineer. Was supposed to be 15 minutes but ended up being ~45. Talked about school, John Deere, and went in depth through my resume. 2 weeks after that, was contacted for a 1 hour behavioral interview with 2 other engineers and it was only 5 questions. About a week later, got an email to talk with the a recruiter where they extended the offer. Everyone was very nice and actually seemed like they wanted to be there for the interview and get to know me.
