I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Oracle (New York, NY) in Sept 2016
Interview
I never considered to work in Oracle as I work in a different industry. One day Oracle approaches me for a good opening. Over the next 2 weeks I got 5 telephone interviews and was given the offer. The 1st was HR general questions, 2nd was the hiring manager introducing his role, strategy and vision (I do not even need to talk...). 3rd and 4th was 2 senior persons in his department talking to me, all are non-technical until the last interview which is again by the hiring manager and is technical. I am very surprised there is no in-person interview.

Question 1
What is random forest? Is random walk stationary or not, why?
went through 3 rounds only - Recruiter asked basic HR questions, HM asked questions pertaining to the role to align with my experiences. 3rd round was with the team where I was supposed to present a past-project followed by QA. Last round, everyone with cameras off - no questions - nothing. Very weird vibe.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Oracle (Pleasanton, CA) in Mar 2025
Interview
The technical coding round interview with the hiring team was pretty straight-forward and deeply technical with a mix of simple and tough questions- SQL & Python.
SQL was mostly based on JOINS (more like self joins, multiple tables, etc). Python was mostly about OOPs concept, iterations, functions. The interviewer was extremely helpful and friendly. They wanted to see the overall though process, we don't need to worry about the syntax.
