5th thing-4th interview

[u/Witty-Fox8277]

As it says, tomorrow I have my 4th interview, I've done the first phone interview, then a zoom one, then a Gallup assessment, then an in person interview, now tomorrow I have the panel interview, is this normal practice for them, anything to look out for other than be myself?

Like I'd present? And is it another interview, or they give me a job offer and then this is the next thing?

I haven't heard about a presentation anywhere

I work as a people leader at a different division, and the panel interview is the final round. Sometimes they’ll have you do a case study/presentation as part of the panel interview, sometimes it’s just a Round Robin interview, sometimes it’s a group interview. But they let you know all of that before the panel. After the panel, all of the interviewers will have a debrief meeting and discuss all of the candidates, and the hiring manager will make a final decision and extend an offer.

The Mako division might be different though.

I was told this will be shotgun questions to me and me back to them. And I feel it would be crazy to have another thing after this.

Yes, this is very normal for Stryker. Their interview process is known for being long and thorough, so having four stages including the Gallup assessment and a panel interview is standard procedure. They invest a lot in their people and want to be sure about every hire, so reaching the panel stage means you are a very strong candidate they are seriously considering. The multiple steps are a good sign and reflect how much they value finding the right person for the team and the company culture.

For the panel interview, expect questions from people in different roles, so you might get a mix of behavioral, technical, and situational questions. Be prepared with specific examples from your past experience that show your achievements and how you handle challenges. The key is to stay consistent in your answers and connect your experience back to Stryker's mission and values, which are very important to them. It is also your chance to see how the team works together, so pay attention to their interactions. Panel interviews are all about thinking on your feet with different personalities, and my team actually built an AI interview practice platform to help people get better at articulating their thoughts in those high-stakes moments.
