The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Oracle
Interview
Went through a recruiter screening, technical screening, and then a loop of two technical interviews, one system design, and one behavioral. The entire process took forever. From start to end was 4 months! The process also kept getting passed from one person to another with no ownership of who would bring the process to a close. Everyone from the interview was rude and indifferent. They refused to answer any hardball questions about culture and stability but alas, I got a verbal offer and then a written offer a month after that.
I ended up quitting my job after the verbal offer was given which was a mistake because Oracle rescinded my offer shortly after I accepted the written offer. I didn't even find out from a person. I found out because the career board platform said I had an urgent message and checked to see that they rescinded. Nobody reached out or responded back to emails. This is the worst company in the world to work for. Not only does their terrible service and product reputation follow them but also their hiring process.

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.
