Oracle is a Fortune 100 company, but before you spend hours studying for an interview, be sure to read this experience:
I was told the incorrect role from the internal recruiter and also, that the interview would be a video interview, which the hiring manager had no clue about at the time of the interview. I read Oral marketing automation platform manual as a prep for no reason (because it was actually focused on NetSuite/Bronto); purchased a webcam for no reason (because we only had a phone interview); and took off from work for no reason!
Here's the process that will get you excited for no reason:
- I was emailed by the internal recruiter stating that the hiring manager was interested in interviewing me but wanted to make sure if the salary worked for me. I said I would take a $10K pay cut to work at Oracle in this dream career opportunity.
- The internal recruiter set up an interview with the hiring manager and told me that it would a video interview. So, I purchased a webcam and took a day off from work.
- When the interview with the hiring manager occurred, she claimed to be clueless about the video interview and the phone interview only lasted for twenty minutes, no qualifications type of questions, but why would you want to work here in this role?
* Also, the internal recruiter told me that the role was regarding Oracle marketing automation, when in fact it was actually relating to NetSuite and Bronto integration. So, I had read the Oracle marketing automation manual as a prep for no reason!
- The hiring manager proceeded to have me interview with couple of more team members.
- I followed up after the interview and neither the internal recruiter nor the hiring manager cared to give me an update.
* The funny part about this is that the position was all about integrating Oracle's NetSuite with Bronto and somehow they can't manage to send one "thank you for your time" email from their various technologies!
