I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Oracle (Bengaluru) in Nov 2021
Interview
The interview process consisted of 4 technical rounds, 1 hiring manager round and 1 BT round.
First Round- 2 coding questions to run with test cases + some basic managerial questions.
Second Round- Questions were around resume specific skills + coding questions + managerial questions.
Third Round- Questions were pretty basic related to UX and most of them were managerial questions.
Fourth Round- Coding questions (difficulty medium)
HM Round- Discussion around the work and Q/A
BT Round- This round is taken by someone who is not a member of the team that the candidate is being interviewed for, to ensure the quality of candidate across the company.
The BT round was pretty vague and not at all on point.
The interviewer first asked me what all domains am I comfortable with, then started asking questions unrelated to those domains.
Whatever questions I was asking him, he was cutting my questions and started asking other questions.
All technical rounds + HM round went pretty nice (according to me), but the BT round was pretty vague, the interviewer was looking at the time again and again and the questions were very random too.
The panel was from US, so the timing of the interviews were also pretty odd.
Did not receive an offer.
Requested the HR for feedback, but still didn't receive any.

Question 1
Coding questions: based on trees(recursion), burst ballon question, etc.
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
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.
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.
