Process

Met with 3 groups on 2 different days. The Oracle recruiters and managers are very nice. They managed to create a pleasant conversational environment and never put pressure on you. There were very few technical questions, and the process was quite smooth. They arranged lunch with two alumni, which was very informative and considerate.

However, they raise a high bar for selecting candidates for onsite interviews. I think this is why Oracle interviews are easy but still allow them to hire talented people.

Questions

It depends on the groups that are interested in you. Some groups ask algorithm coding questions, while others place more emphasis on communication and behavior.

Regardless, you can assume nothing in advance. Be prepared for data structure, algorithms, and basic technical questions.

After all, for a software engineer position, the responsibility is to write code every day.
