I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Oracle (Gurgaon, Haryana) in Apr 2008
Interview
Initial communication- telephonic- Qs were mostly technical - top ten interview questions in java types.
face to face- technical, mostly around technology overview
HR- mostly around salary inputs. But they did not come up with a figure then.
around 10 days post this discussion, I got the offer letter.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The interviewer said: I can ask you technical questions. But I think that is a worthless exercise. anyone who has been in industry for some duration knows how to google around. so lets get into some other aspects. how has been your experience in this industry.
-- the question created a kind of unexpected atmosphere and the question was too wide to discuss
Cleared OFSS drive: online DSA + MCQs, two technical rounds with OOP and coding problems, project deep-dive, SQL questions, and HR; focused on clear thought process and implementation details.
OFSS interview: online coding (DSA) and concept MCQs, on-campus rounds asked OOP principles, live-coding (strings/linked lists), SQL and system questions, then detailed discussion of my projects and fixes.
OFSS selection: timed DSA challenge plus core CS MCQs, two tech rounds covering OOP, Java, SQL, and a coding problem; final round probed my projects, design choices, and debugging approach.
interview process is structured and technical, usually involving a recruiter screen, multiple coding rounds, and a "Bar Raiser." Expect deep dives into SQL, data structures, and system design but manly have stories ready a a whole bunch.
