I applied through other source. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Oracle (Broomfield, CO) in Aug 2013
Interview
This was the most efficient interview process I've ever seen.
The HR phone screen was a standard 45 minute conversation with the recruiter. They made the decision to move forward within just a few hours.
The technical phone screen was with the Senior Engineer, hiring Manager and Manager's boss. Each had their own technical questions - the Senior engineer asked challenging technical questions about the Java language, the manager asked about schedules, project decisions, etc, and the Manager's boss asked about interpersonal skills and experiences. It was gruelling and I thought I had failed. They made the decision to move forward within 1 hour.
The on-site interview was most impressive: The hiring manager brought his entire team into a conference room and asked "Tell us about yourself". That allowed everyone to hear about me and we didn't need to go over my experience 6 times. Then all except 2 engineers left and they asked hard Java questions for a while, and then 2 others relieved them and asked more hard technical questions. Then the hiring manager came back and asked if I had any questions for him and then it was all over. Only 2 hours and they had a pretty good sense of what I could do. The downside was that I didn't get as much of a chance to learn about them as I would have liked. The best part? They made their decision and contacted me with an offer within two hours.

Question 1
Here's an obscure piece of code. What will be printed at line 27? (actually, I got this question several times, but thankfully they didn't use messed-up variable names). They also asked about infrequently used language features: "Transient", "Volatile", "Finalize", etc.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Oracle (New York, NY) in Jun 2026
Interview
The role was for a Senior Software Engineer (Data Engineering Oracle Health). A recruiter reached out via LinkedIn and provided a link to apply. After submitting my application, I was scheduled for an initial screening call to discuss my experience and background.
The recruiter screen primarily focused on high-level role fit and basic behavioral questions. Following that, I was invited to a technical interview.
The technical interview was a 1-hour coding session conducted via HackerRank, featuring a LeetCode-style problem. The first ~10 minutes were dedicated to behavioral questions, after which we moved on to the coding challenge. Candidates were allowed to use their preferred programming language.

Round 1 DSA
Asked a basic sliding window question and a few questions related to Java, like what are imaginary functions and then asked me a few questions based on my resume and then dived into technical aspects of it.

Question 1
It was something related to a sliding window, a medium-level LeetCode
Very slow process. Took 4 months to reply on one interview. Multiple follow up was unanswered. Four Interview round was all cleared despite that it took time to reply. Overall good experience.
