I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Oracle (Redwood City, CA) in May 2016
Interview
I had a phone screen with a recruiter back East followed by a follow-up call with the hiring manager. Nothing difficult just wanted to know about prior projects and what I was looking for. Conversation went well and after a few weeks of trying to lock something down I was invited on campus for an interview. I met with two different people and the interview process only took about one hour.
I sent a thank you email after the interview and was told thank you and that they would be in touch shortly. I have sent two other follow-up emails and have not received any response. It has been about a month now. I assume they are interviewing other candidates and have probably moved on but this lacks courtesy and professionalism.

The interview process was of intermediate difficulty. It comprised of HR screening, hiring manager, team & senior director. Some were on zoom others in person where possible. Good interaction. Feedback offered when requested.

Question 1
Experience in complex situations & working under pressure
The recruiter reached out on linkedin; Was asked to apply for the job before the pre-screen. During pre-screen interview found out the actual salary is lower than the job description's compensation range so decided to not move forward.
Word of advice: ask for the REAL salary first
