Met at a career fair, followed by a brief phone screen with the recruiter. Questions included why Oracle and what you do.

She moved me on to the next round, which was a phone interview with a hiring director. This interview was much more intense, with eight questions covering topics such as:

• Name a project you worked on when...
• What's your change agility?
• How would you analyze Oracle against its competitors if you worked here?

I was notified that I was accepted to the final round interview. The company flew me out to Austin, TX, and put us all up in a hotel.

On the first night, there was a casual social gathering (drinks, appetizers) with other candidates and employees who had just been hired in the last round, along with a few hiring directors.

The next day was an all-day event featuring:

• Individual behavioral and situational interviews
• Group activities (riddles, puzzles, etc.)
• A group case study

Breakfast snacks and lunch were provided.

It was a great experience. The interview process depends on who you get, as some ask different questions. Only a few candidates were accepted, so it was apparently very competitive, but everyone was very nice, so there was no need to feel uncomfortable or nervous.

I started in October, flew out in December, and received an offer less than a week later.

What do you think the hardest part about working with a client would be?
