I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Oracle (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2017
Interview
I responded to a posting on LinkedIn and applied on their Website. I also had a friend refer me directly to the hiring manager. Each step of the process took days or weeks and frequently became stalled. Had I not had a friend who worked there and escalated each step, I am fairly confident that I would not have had an interview. They requested that I come in for an informational interview so they could figure out where I would fit because they had so many positions open. Following that, they requested that I come in for a full day of interviews. After the in-person interview, they sent me a rejection email saying that it is their policy to not provide specific feedback, but they decided that I didn't have the right background. Ordinarily, that would be fair feedback, but at this point, we had been talking for at least three weeks, they had my resume the whole time, they decided where I would be the best fit, and I have extensive experience in this area. I am not sure what the issue was, but I doubt that it had anything to do with my background. After sending me a rejection email, all communication ceased. Despite them claiming to need 900 new hires, they won't return an email anymore. Am I unfit for all positions? I am left with the impression of a highly disorganized, dysfunctional recruiting process that does not respect the time of candidates. I have no idea how they will hit their hiring goals.
The Interview process was fairly easy, It was a 3 rounds of interview (but it may differ from team to team). General rounds are Technology specific / role specific interview, the 2nd round is managerial round and the 3rd is director or senior director

One or two phone screens then an onsite in CA. The first calls were just to discuss my background, interest in products, etc. Nothing too complicated at all. Pretty much behavioral
