I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Oracle (Bengaluru) in Aug 2021
Interview
WORST INTERVIEW EXPERIENCE EVER!!!!
The interviewer was very unprofessional and so rude that he was not allowing me to present my approach. He was literally scolding me during the interview. He was always cutting whenever I was trying to tell anything. Before asking 1st coding problem he told me that "Dont think that you will not write code here. Dont tell us that I have 10-12 years of experience so I will not write code". This was his exact statement. I was shocked and really lost interest there itself. The other guy was from Siemens and he was more interested in which building I used to sit. Such a crap.
I WILL SUGGEST EVERYONE TO STAY AWAY FROM THEM. THEY ARE TOXIC AND THEY WILL BEHAVE LIKE THE CANDIDATE IS A BEGGAR.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Add 2 numbers without using + operator.
Write class with 1 pointer member and all constructor, copy constructor and destructor.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Oracle (Seattle, WA)
Interview
Fairly easy tech screen. Loop was a bit of a mess. Coding portions required AI which was not mentioned ahead of time. One of the interviewers told me to find bugs in some code using AI, but accidentally pasted the solution instead of the buggy code which led to issues.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Oracle (Nashville, TN)
Interview
Standard coding screen followed by loop rounds.
Loop rounds -
1. System design - focused on the infra aspect more
2. Behavioral - turned into technical quickly and did some white boarding to explain how I cracked a problem.
3. Bartender - as they are all from platform team, most of their questions were targeted for infra position and that confused me.
Bias for action seemed very important for them than any other principle.
Coding - another leetcode medium and was easy to solve.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
System design - Youtube using barebones infra instead of ootb services
The interviews were mostly medium level leetcode questions. Takes a lot longer than you would expect. About 3 months from beginning to end. The offer stage and background stage take the longest
