Oracle Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details Phone interview with a recruiter, very easy and if you have two years work experience and a university degree you usually get passed on if they like you over the phone. after that you come in to interview with a minimum of two managers or Sr reps. Behavioral based questions and focus on details about your sales strategy or best closed deal and how you made it happen. then you do a role play of a sales call with a sr executive at a company and do a discovery on their business pains, followed by a closing to get the next meeting. afte that there's a formality interview with the director for 30 min to make sure they're not making a mistake hiring you.

Interview Details Initial communication took place over the phone and I set up an interview. I met a hiring manager and had an hour-long interview during which time we went over my resume and discussed the position briefly. Ater a couple weeks, I went in for another interview where I met with two senior sales representatives who discussed my work experience and shared some more details about the position. I was contacted shortly after and offerred a position with the sales team.

Negotiation Details – Salary limited by previous salary.

Interview Details I got a few calls before the interview that was by phone. The overall process was OK and the salary offered was also OK. In average the process was very good.

Reason for Declining – When I made the question about travel and overtime they told me that the company could send me everywhere. I got some info about people that works there that is very difficult for an Oracle employee balance Work and Family because constant trips. I got some bad news about lot of pression.
That was I've decline the offer.

Interview Details I first had an interview in Mississauga, Ontario, with 5 people (architects/product manager/developers) and 1 Director in person. However, the US recruiter had me interview for a position that I was over-qualified for. Next I was forwarded on to Product management group, where I had a total of 7 interviews (in person, and over the phone). over 5 months!

Reason for Declining – No offer was actually presented, but I declined proceeding in the process. By March (3 months into the process) and 4 interviews, I mentioned that the process was already far too long and everyone was asking me the same questions over and over. I requested to see at least an conditional/offer so I can understand that there is commitment from Oracle and they aren't just fishing. We spoke about salaries and compensation, but the manager said he has to put it through some process and he can't agree to it. Rather they kept having me interview with more people and started asking me for previous income statements. I did not like this, because there was nothing concrete to what I had discussed with Oracle.

In fact, the original job description I received was at an IC5 level then later that changed to IC4 in an email I received - but this change was never indicated to me. I felt I was being taken advantage of during the process and my concerns were never being listened to -- which could be an indication of how this team operates and is not something I wanted to be involved with. I offered Oracle to provide whatever information they require pending a conditional offer, but they refused. In turn, I declined in proceeding. I should mention I was not looking for a job, I have a great one already.

Interview Details 3 phone interviews and 1 face 2 face interviews. Lots of questions from actual day to day experience on the previous jobs, and same importance on the current job. It took 3 months from the start of interview to geting offer letter, and requires good amount of patience to complete whole process of hiring.

Negotiation Details – Appears to be a big company with a lot of "process" in hiring. It appears to be better to negotiate salary, etc. before the offer is made because going back to change an offer appears to require a lot of justification, signatures, delays.

Interview Details Technical round, high level architecture round, Professional assessment round and then personal round (possibly). Finally HR round.
Recruitment process can take longer than usual time. Thorough background check done.
