Difficult interview
Application
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Oracle in Aug 2020
Interview
It's your basic multiple step process.
1. Initial Phone Screen with Recruiter
2. Phone screen with hiring manager/director
3. Full day interview loop (5-6 people) including, behavioral analysis, system design, management style, and job description chops.
Oracle is a big company, be prepared to wait weeks from initial phone screen to offer process, should you make it.
