Costco always does group/panel interviews for most positions. It was a similar one for me with three people on the panel.

They asked very generic questions from a questionnaire they have (like, "Describe a challenging situation at your previous job," "Describe your most important achievement," etc.). There weren't any technical questions asked, but I guess they let candidates speak about their technical abilities and assess them.

It was very hard to understand the feedback or opinion they have on you, and the process will take a long time (to schedule an interview, go through processes, etc.).

Be prepared with a clear list of all your strengths and achievements and do the best you can.

It really depends on the panel, and if at least two or three from the panel have a favorable opinion, you would get an offer.

But to end it, Costco is a great company to work for and has a very good work culture. They are one of Washington's top-rated employers for employee satisfaction.
