Questions for me?
Final superday interview was more difficult. Ended after interviews with a test where we were given 2 problems to choose from and solve. The problems were both database focused although about 1/2 the applicants were not applying for the DBA position. This is Oracle, know your DB skills regardless of if you intend to be a DB or not.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Oracle in Jan 2013
Interview
I had applied through a job portal and my resume got Selected for a recuritment drive. We had been to the Oracle campus at 10 am. This was my first interview drive as an experience professional, Couldnt clear the interview but following are the 2 rounds which i have attended,
1) Written Test on the Java Objective( 1 hr)
There were 60 question and we needed to answer it in an hour duration. Had prepared for this from a week and finally happy to get this round cleared with the highest score. most of the others also cleared so i presume the cut off was a bit low.
2) Technical Interview (1 Hr)
Although it was called a technical interview , the first question itself made me loose all the hopes of getting a job. I was given 4 questions and out of which there is only 1 programming question which was a simple one on list. Rest all questions where of puzzle kind which really test your IQ and reasoning skills. interviewer gave some paper and asked me to answer in that , 45 min time was given to answer all the questions
Well the interview process was bit disappointing as i dint get selected , But all said ,I am happy with my interview experience
