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

Se divide en varias etapas, lo primero evalúan tu ingles, ya que es requisito para trabajar ahí, normalmente es solo una entrevista en ingles con preguntas sencillas, como cuál es tu actual trabajo, por qué quieres trabajar en Oracle, y normalmente es alguien de RH, después si pasas esa etapa viene la entrevista técnica en la que te preguntarán conceptos básicos, por ejemplo si es para java te preguntarán sobre herencia, polimorfismo, era entrevista puede ser en español o en ingles dependiendo si es alguien de aquí de México tu manager o si es del extranjero y posteriormente te pondrán problemas de algoritmos que tendrás que programar en el tiempo de la entrevista
1 technical phone screen covering basic networking and data structures, followed by a 4-round onsite loop focused heavily on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) scale challenges. The rounds were split between low-level system execution, multi-tenant cloud architecture, and standard relational/non-relational database trade-offs. The interviewers kept drilling into network virtualization, hypervisors, and storage layers.
To prep, I needed to brush up on high-throughput cloud networking patterns and storage engine internals. I utilized Apex Interviewer to simulate full cloud infrastructure design problems.

Question 1
Design a highly secure, multi-tenant virtual cloud network block storage migration system that allows live volume transfers between physical data centers without dropping active I/O operations.
Mostly coding question focused, and some talking about personal experience and terms. Some technical design, you could have chosen any language to complete the coding questions. Questions were simple technical concepts that person came up with at the moment.
