Behavioral Case Presentation

The interview process was very unorganized. There was no recruiter involved; the hiring person handled everything. I had several Teams interviews and then an onsite panel interview where only one person asked questions, and the others didn't say much. After the interview, there was complete silence with no response, making it feel like my time didn't matter. I spent over 40 hours tailoring my resume, answering questionnaires, and preparing for mock interviews and the onsite business case. It was not worth applying because the risk is on you, NOT THEM. It is SO UNETHICAL!!

Presentation Technical

So, there's no recruiter screen. The first interview is with the hiring manager. After that, you'll present to two panels, one of which is a teach-back session. Be prepared for the teach-back panel to be cold and unwelcoming. The panelists seemed like they didn't want to be there. As soon as you start presenting, they'll jump in and interrupt you with all sorts of questions, stopping you from finishing.

Behavioral Technical

I applied through Stanford Health Care’s careers page. It started with a phone screen asking about my background, education, and general interest in healthcare IT. Then, I had a panel interview with team members and hiring managers. It felt structured but also like a conversation, covering both technical knowledge and soft skills.

Behavioral Technical

I applied for several Project Engineer positions at Stanford Health Care via LinkedIn, and shortly after, I got emails to schedule remote interviews. The person interviewing me seemed very robotic and direct. They asked me to detail my entire work history. My background is in residential and heavy civil construction, with no healthcare experience, which was clearly stated on my resume and application. Despite this, they still proceeded with the interview. Near the end, I inquired if they hire individuals without healthcare construction experience. The interviewer frankly responded, "honestly, not usually." This made me question why they even interviewed me if it was a prerequisite and evident from my resume that I didn't meet it. I had actually applied for three similar project engineer roles concurrently, unaware I wouldn't qualify. I went through interviews for all three, and all resulted in rejections. Ironically, I had anticipated being overqualified for these roles due to my experience and expected to advance easily. The main takeaway is that it's probably not worth applying unless you have prior healthcare construction experience.
