I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at John Deere
Interview
3 “rounds”:
-Phone screening
-Phone interview - competency check
-In person (in Moline) - took most of the day with around four interviews and an HQ tour and lunch. I’d guess this was mostly to gauge fit and get multiple employees perspectives on potential candidates
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at John Deere (Moline, IL) in Nov 2012
Interview
There are usually 3 interview processes. The first may be informal: at a career fair, a connection, HR. The second process was on campus with 2 interviewers with you. After passing that, is the last and final interview round. In the last round, you will be interviewed separately by two existing John Deere employees. These are people who lend their time to get familiar with interns. They are not strictly HR personnel. After that, a tour of JD is given, and (usually) lunch with existing employees in your field.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
John Deere uses behavioral questions extensively. Please be exactly familiar with the STAR interview technique. Some questions: favorite class and why, name a time you failed and how you recovered, tensions within group projects and how you managed, outstanding assignments, and what does "success" and "quality" mean to you.
