The interview process began with a recruiter screening, followed by a technical screening. This led into a loop of two technical interviews, one system design interview, and one behavioral interview. The entire process took an extended period, spanning a total of four months from start to finish. Furthermore, the process seemed to be passed from one individual to another, with no clear ownership for bringing it to a close. The interviewers were universally rude and indifferent. They refused to answer direct questions regarding company culture and stability. Despite these challenges, I eventually received a verbal offer, and then a written offer a month later.

I made the mistake of quitting my previous job after receiving the verbal offer. This proved to be an error, as Oracle rescinded my offer shortly after I accepted the written offer. The notification of this rescission was not delivered by a person. Instead, I discovered it when the career board platform indicated an urgent message. Upon checking, I found that the offer had been rescinded. No one reached out directly, and emails went unanswered.

This experience suggests that Oracle is a highly problematic company to work for. Their poor reputation for service and product quality appears to extend to their hiring practices as well.
