I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Oracle (Chennai) in Feb 2011
Interview
Firstly, an aptitude test ,as elimination
30 on an appearance of 180, made the cut
Then, 3 rounds of interview:
a)HR round
b)Tech round
c)Delivery manager's interview
Each stage was an elimination except the final round.
Total of 5 got selected from the 30 ,shortlisted originally. The interview questions were not tough,but they were slow yet abrupt! Depends on the person who takes the interview, not a company policy per se

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.
