I was asked to start with an overview of my past experience. This was a technical interview, so the next step was a coding challenge followed by some questions about how the implemented algorithm could be extended.
I performed reasonably, not spectacularly. To be honest I did not expect to be ghosted by such a large tech company, but that's what happened.
I followed up after six days with their internal recruiter, got no apology but only the briefest of messages saying they will ask around about it.
Sixteen days later I asked to at least confirm that I was rejected. Response again had no apology but just stated they were waiting to hear back from the other people.
That was two months ago. I don't mind failing the interview but was a bit gobsmacked at the lack of professionalism from such a major player.

Question 1
A reasonably straightforward algorithm question about finding some information about items in a list. Follow-on questions considering the situation where the list is partitioned into sublists.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Oracle
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.

Typical FAANG interview questions” or “Common FAANG-style interview questions.
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.

Question 1
Given an integer, convert it to roman numeral equivalent.
Given input: [1, 49, 23]
Expected output: ["I", "XLIX", "XXIII"]
Round 1 DSA
Asked a basic sliding window question and a few questions related to Java, like what are imaginary functions and then asked me a few questions based on my resume and then dived into technical aspects of it.
