I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Oracle (Pequim, Pequim) in Jan 2011
Interview
1st round HR cold call
2nd round onsite programming language test(C++) and interviewed by director via Oracle collaborator
3rd round: telephone interviewed by one manager and senior developer for job fitness and skill level (from India)
4th round: telephone interviewed by one director and one manager ( again from India)
5th round: hiring manager from US
6th round: HR verbal offer
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Oracle in Jan 2011
Interview
I applied online and immediately got a phone call from recruiter very next day. The recruiter scheduled phone conversation with hiring manager who provided me a coding assignment to be worked upon offline.
I got no feedback whatsoever on the assignment. Another phone interview was scheduled with additional team member. The interview was pretty vague just to find out my skills and some knowledge questions which I am sure I answered thoroughly and correctly.
I followed up after a week and recruiter replied in negative. The worst part is I spent several hours on the coding assignment that at least deserve some feedback in my honest opinion and I found the behavior very unprofessional. Add to that there was no update unless I followed up. Thumbs down Oracle.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
This is distributed development position. Will you be able to work with remote teams?
The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Oracle (Bengaluru) in Dec 2010
Interview
The telephonic round was mainly core java and some design on a virtual case.
1:1 interview consisted of 3 rounds. Tech Lead, Architect and Manager round before the HR.
Tech Lead Round was based on Core Java combined with J2EE dealing only with concepts.. SCJP tutorial is enough for the same.
Architect round was only on data structures and coding based on some given problem.
Manager round was on completely on designing and further questions depending on what you design.
