In an effort to have US-based ORCL employees compete with ORCL employees in "low-cost centers," wages have been frozen for the last 12 years for the lowest-performing 90% of the technical employee population.
(CON) That's hard for us techies like myself (a top 20% technical performer) who suffer with a dozen years of slowly falling standard of living.
(PRO) This austerity program has at least kept us lower 90% technicals employed.
The obsession with low-cost centers is not really required for a company with a monopoly like ORCL.
The initial call was with the recruiter. Next, there was a call with the manager. Then, I had a call with an engineer I would be working with. I accepted another role before the process went any further and halted it.
Phone interview. Then a 2-day weekend location interview with 20+ applicants. Flew to Denver. One-on-one with managers. Technical interview. Group interview. Behavioral, personality, technical.
4 rounds: initial screening, technical questions, live coding questions, puzzles, 25 horses question. The first round was with the recruiter. She asked some questions, and then she sent me a skill matrix format and my availability for the interview.
