Oracle Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details 2 discussions with senior ranking officials focussing on both the technical and business process components

Negotiation Details – Easy

Interview Details Multi-tier interview: Manager > Senior Sales Consultant (technical interview) > Senior Management > Principal Manger.

After all successful interviewes, the internal approval process was long and tedious, with heaps of cv validation checkpoints.

Interview Details I went in for a Walk in at first it was really good but later the management of the interview was not good Unplanned process they had 500 students and just for 3 rounds they took whole and our total waiting period was above 4 hours
The interview process was vague they were not clear on posts and Salary

Reason for Declining – Cause they Pay was too Less

Interview Details There were 4 rounds(4 technical+hr).

not able to clear

Interview Details Telephonic interviews-two rounds (both technical), 1:1 interview (technical and HR -one week after the telephonic round), Discussion with project manager regarding job responsibilities if selected and final confirmation (nearly one and a half months later)

Negotiation Details – Nothing remarkable. Since i refused to relocate i was low balled on the salary for about 50k. Seemed fair to me

Interview Details 5 rounds of interview in total. 4 telephonic and 1 personal round.

Interview Details It started with the hiring manager asking me if I knew someone who might be able to do the skills that I actually had while at a conference. The problem was they actually didn't have the position available yet. It took them six months to open the rec. All of the interviews were over the phone (three) and all were with the hiring manager. I never had to talk to HR or anyone else.

Negotiation Details – They asked me for my salary requirements and after describing generally how comp worked at my current employer, the hiring manager asked me if it would be easier if he told me what there maximum salary was. Once I had that info, it was easy to layout my requirements in a way that didn't make me look greedy but also acknowledged that this was a step up. I was also able to negotiate a stock option grant at offer, since I was walking away from my current employer's stock program.

Interview Details initial contact was with former co-worker after seeing posting for position. after applying, contacted by inside recruiter, once cleared that hurdle, spoke with the hiring manager via phone, received the offer within 2 weeks

Negotiation Details – Typical back and forth. they did come up on salary, but would not budge on vacation time off, I was at 4 weeks for my previous job, but Oracle starts you out at 13 days, regardless, so that was painful

Interview Details Originally interviewed at a company which had been acquired by Oracle but not yet been integrated (RightNow). Bit of a bumpy transition mid-process to the Oracle hiring process instead.
First interview with a very senior director, fairly informal, with another interview the same day with the internal recruiter who had approached me via LinkedIn.
Having been told I would be invited back, I insisted on having my own separate meeting with one or more members of the team I'd be working with. Ended up meeting two would-be colleagues, separately. I asked for this - it wasn't offered as such, but they were happy to organise it - what a good sign!
There was supposed to be a second, panel interview with a presentation of my understanding of their business/products, and of how I'd see my first few months, plus a little about 'why me'. i prepped for this, but they had to rearrange it and then they decided to go straight to making me an offer instead. Had it been the standard Oracle process I think they would have had to go through with it regardless.
Once I'd had the unofficial 'nod', there was a very...long...wait...for contracts to come all the way from Romania. My new boss was very good and rang me every 10 days or so to keep me updated, but it was a good six weeks or so. Having spoken to a newer colleague, they didn't have such a long wait in the 'standard' process, so this may simply have been because of the transition between the acquired company's hiring process and Oracle's hiring process for me.
There is also an unbelievably detailed background check, using the CV I had originally submitted to the recruiter. They went all the way back to my university to check my degree qualification (over 15 years ago), wanted three business referees, plus two personal referees. They checked every employer and job title I'd had in the last 10 years, which was a bit awkward as my official titles were very vague so hadn't used them on my CV. But this didn't ultimately cause me a problem - a report goes to the hiring manager summarising anything the background check has flagged as an issue.

Negotiation Details – Oracle has in-house recruiters, and they have fairly pre-set negotiating parameters. They will NOT offer more than about 15% over what you're already earning, so make sure you present your existing package as favourably as possible. More negotiation on the bonus pool size, and benefit points allocation.
