I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Oracle (Bengaluru) in Dec 2024
Interview
I recently had the opportunity to interview with Oracle for a software engineer. The process began with a detailed two-hour first-round interview, which I felt went well, and I was subsequently informed about a second round. However, just before the second round, I received a notification from the hiring manager stating that the position was no longer being filled, and the interview was canceled.
While I understand that business needs and hiring plans can change, I believe such decisions should be communicated before candidates invest significant time and effort in the interview process. It was disappointing to dedicate time and energy to the preparation, only to learn that the role was no longer available.
I would recommend that Oracle consider improving communication in such situations to respect candidates' time and effort. Despite this experience, I appreciate the opportunity to engage with the team and wish Oracle the best in its future endeavors.

Interview
The role was for a Senior Software Engineer (Data Engineering Oracle Health). A recruiter reached out via LinkedIn and provided a link to apply. After submitting my application, I was scheduled for an initial screening call to discuss my experience and background.
The recruiter screen primarily focused on high-level role fit and basic behavioral questions. Following that, I was invited to a technical interview.
The technical interview was a 1-hour coding session conducted via HackerRank, featuring a LeetCode-style problem. The first ~10 minutes were dedicated to behavioral questions, after which we moved on to the coding challenge. Candidates were allowed to use their preferred programming language.
