I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Oracle (Austin, TX) in Dec 2025
Interview
I felt that many of their employees were not interested in hiring anyone. It's not a pleasant interview for anyone to take. They forced me to write code in Java, when I clearly said I'm comfortable with Python for LeetCode assessments. Three out of five rounds required me to write in Java.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
During the Oracle technical round, I hit a snag with a vague aggregation question. I explicitly told the interviewer I was assuming the use of AVG and proceeded to build out a fairly complex solution based on that. Even though I was narrating my logic out loud, the interviewer stayed completely silent. I only realized afterward that they actually wanted SUM. It’s frustrating when you’re being transparent about your assumptions and the interviewer doesn't provide any course correction.
