Interview
This was one of those weird interviews that people get once in a while.
I received a call at around 7pm from the director on a weekday to ask me what I was looking for. I took this lightly since it was just informational. I was told that the hiring manager will contact me next. A couple of days later I get a call around 8:30pm from the hiring manager. I answered the call not knowing it was the hiring manager, and decided to just continue. He wanted me to take a technical interview and that night time was preferred. I told him that I can only do it during business hours, and I asked the hiring manager why does it have to be at night and he just asked me, "Aren't you use to working with a global team?" I explained to him that I have other obligations during the evening and I only work during business hours. I ended up declining to move forward with the interview. If they do not respect your time during the interview, imagine what will happen when you actually work there.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Oracle (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2019
Interview
Interview was heavily weighted in the software engineering department which caught me really off guard considering what position this was for. I was expecting more about design, web, etc. instead of algorithm speeds and software engineering theory, so I came out of it feeling a little slighted.
