I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Oracle (New York, NY) in Jun 2019
Interview
I applied at a university career fair and the recruiter got back to me shortly after that. I had a 30 min call with the manager of the team who just asked me about my background and what I am looking for. The second round was a technical phone screen. The question was pretty simple, output all the words in the document from most frequently used to least. Then I flew to their New York office for the onsite. The onsite was 6 interviews, 3 behavioral/talking about my technical experience and 3 technical/algo/leet code type questions. The interview went well and everyone was nice, but the experience I had with the recruiter was not great. She forgot to confirm my first interview and told me the night before at 10 pm that it was going to be tomorrow morning. Then they never got back to me even though I flew there for an onsite. I reached out after waiting and frantically checking my email for 3 weeks and she responded within the hour saying they decided not to move forward with me. She also took a month to get back to me on my reimbursement, which was $300. Overall the interview went well but bad experience with the recruiter.
1 technical phone screen covering basic networking and data structures, followed by a 4-round onsite loop focused heavily on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) scale challenges. The rounds were split between low-level system execution, multi-tenant cloud architecture, and standard relational/non-relational database trade-offs. The interviewers kept drilling into network virtualization, hypervisors, and storage layers.
To prep, I needed to brush up on high-throughput cloud networking patterns and storage engine internals. I utilized Apex Interviewer to simulate full cloud infrastructure design problems.

Question 1
Design a highly secure, multi-tenant virtual cloud network block storage migration system that allows live volume transfers between physical data centers without dropping active I/O operations.
Se divide en varias etapas, lo primero evalúan tu ingles, ya que es requisito para trabajar ahí, normalmente es solo una entrevista en ingles con preguntas sencillas, como cuál es tu actual trabajo, por qué quieres trabajar en Oracle, y normalmente es alguien de RH, después si pasas esa etapa viene la entrevista técnica en la que te preguntarán conceptos básicos, por ejemplo si es para java te preguntarán sobre herencia, polimorfismo, era entrevista puede ser en español o en ingles dependiendo si es alguien de aquí de México tu manager o si es del extranjero y posteriormente te pondrán problemas de algoritmos que tendrás que programar en el tiempo de la entrevista
Mostly coding question focused, and some talking about personal experience and terms. Some technical design, you could have chosen any language to complete the coding questions. Questions were simple technical concepts that person came up with at the moment.
