I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Oracle (Nashville, TN)
Interview
Standard coding screen followed by loop rounds.
Loop rounds -
1. System design - focused on the infra aspect more
2. Behavioral - turned into technical quickly and did some white boarding to explain how I cracked a problem.
3. Bartender - as they are all from platform team, most of their questions were targeted for infra position and that confused me.
Bias for action seemed very important for them than any other principle.
Coding - another leetcode medium and was easy to solve.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
System design - Youtube using barebones infra instead of ootb services
The interviews were mostly medium level leetcode questions. Takes a lot longer than you would expect. About 3 months from beginning to end. The offer stage and background stage take the longest
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Oracle
Interview
Deeply disappointed by my recent interview experience with Oracle.
Despite providing a clear brute-force foundation for a coding problem, the interviewer seemed disengaged and failed to grasp the logic. My interview was abruptly cut 15 minutes early without a single follow-up question.
Total silence on feedback requests followed a generic "not a fit" email. Expecting professional standard-setting from a tech giant, I instead found a dismissive process.
