I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Oracle (Noida) in Mar 2021
Interview
1. Technical Interview1
2. Technical Interview 2
Although I used to value Oracle company a lot in the past, but my interview experience changed my mindset.
Recruiter was friendly in the first call. He arranged an interview.
On the first interview, interviewer did not consider turning his camera on, or giving an introduction about himself. That was the first negative point. I expect my future colleagues to be human first and then a technologist. Anyway.
The interview went on for 2 hours not because I did not have the answers, but because he had a list of a lot of questions. I felt that was okay, as I was also enjoying answering the questions and questions were pretty easy as well.
I got a call from the recruiter afterwards.
As I expected it was for scheduling the second round . However, recruiter thought of sharing the feedback as well which I really appreciate. But one should only include a step in the process if they know how to do it well. Here comes the second negative point.
Recruiter had no idea how to effectively give the feedback. Instead of also giving me insights about what I did well as well as what did not go well, he just chose to criticize me, trying to deter my confidence and telling me this is bad, this is so so. These were his exact words.
I feel sorry for the candidates who lack confidence and prepare so hard to get into companies. as recruiter like this does a great work at shattering people's confidence and self esteem. Fortunately I had enough self confidence, however I felt really bad.
Second interview. Interviewer asked one Leetcode hard question. I was able to answer it. Then he proceeded to my resume asking me Kubernetes and Docker, Java.
I answered all of them and the interviewer seemed really impressed in the end.
That was it. I never heard from them again.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. DSA question - Longest substring with no repeating characters.
2. DSA question - First unique character in a string
3. Java Basics
4. OOPS basics
My advice to the oracle is "be a human first, learn that recruitment process is not a teacher student meeting, it's a meeting where even candidate assesses the company. So send your interviewers prepared"
Also, learn how to give and receive feedback. It's an art.

Interview
There will be one technical screening round initially. After that, you will move on to the final interview loop, which typically includes Data Structures & Algorithms (DSA), system design, and a bar raiser interview round to assess overall fit and depth.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Oracle (New York, NY) in Jun 2026
Interview
The role was for a Senior Software Engineer (Data Engineering Oracle Health). A recruiter reached out via LinkedIn and provided a link to apply. After submitting my application, I was scheduled for an initial screening call to discuss my experience and background.
The recruiter screen primarily focused on high-level role fit and basic behavioral questions. Following that, I was invited to a technical interview.
The technical interview was a 1-hour coding session conducted via HackerRank, featuring a LeetCode-style problem. The first ~10 minutes were dedicated to behavioral questions, after which we moved on to the coding challenge. Candidates were allowed to use their preferred programming language.

I applied online. I interviewed at Oracle in Jun 2026
Interview
1. HR call: just to confirm that you are interested in the role, and you actually are an engineer.
2. Hiring manager interview: Some behavioral questions. A simple coding problem focusing on algorithm.
3. The final loop: including a system design, a data structure/algorithm problem, a problem solving interview, a code maintainability problem. and a project deep dive session.
Overall the interview process was fast, completed in about a week. The outcome was also fast. However, they do not provide a feedback on the interview.

Question 1
For the problem solving question, you are asked to find the minimum flips required to make a NxN board of black/white pieces completely symmetric. That is, the final state must be symmetric horizontally, vertically, and diagonally. You can flip one piece at a time. The entire board is filled with the black/white pieces.
