I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Oracle (Redwood Shores, CA)
Interview
Part of the college campus hiring program.
Recruiter got resume through campus career event, contacted me. No phone screening, so it's all about good resume, in particular good school & GPA.
I got a one day onsite interview at HQ, where I talked with 4, 5 teams. Since each teams has seperate hiring decision, if you got pick by recruiters for onsite interviews, very high chance that you will have at least one offer from at least one team out of the 5 teams you talked with.
Actually interview really depended on which team. Some team is just casual talks, while some teams actually ask technical questions, but quite easy and more about personality & skill fit. No general algorithm questions.
Be friendly & talkative. Prepare to talk about your past project & relevant experience, it's the main bonus points.

Question 1
Got asked specific SQL knowledge questions for database team. For college hire, not about deep knowledge of db system, just experience on SQL use is good.
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.

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.
