I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Oracle
Interview
I was approached by a recruiter on LinkedIn. Three rounds of evaluation. First it was a phone call with the HR recruiter where he asked me some general questions about past experiences based on my profile. Part of this talk was in English to test my English level. The second round was a conversation with the manager, with more detailed questions about past experiences and a programming test with a variety of questions including logic, database, specific language and 2 algorithm implementations. The third round was a conversation with a CTO, with some architecture-specific questions and other programming testing. After that, the HR recruiter called me again and made the salary proposal.
selection process is mostly driven by the hiring team team itself.
Questions asked on data structures and algos, SQL queries and java concepts. An average knowledge in these areas would suffice. Not to hard

Interview
The process started with the tech recruiter contacting over the phone and setting up a preliminary assessment round.
If you clear this round, the HR will call you and set up 4 more rounds (3 technical + 1 Hiring Manager)
1) round 1 - Interviewer was a principal engineer, very friendly and supportive
2) round 2 - Interviewer started mocking and laughing at me from the very beginning, as if trying to prove that I dont know anything, instead of trying to have a healthy conversation
3) round 3 - This interviewer was even more condescending than the one before, with similar laughing and mocking through the entire interview. Even worse was that, he was not even letting me finish an answer and without hearing the full answer, he would start telling me I dont know anything. Worst interview ever in my life. The interviewer acted as if he is the one who knows everything and he has no time to take the interview.
4) round 4 (Hiring Manager) - Interviewer was patient and described the entire product and the tech stack associated with it. Expect some behavioral questions that will be hidden in the conversation.

Question 1
Questions will be based on your resume and the expertise of the interviewer. NO regard will be given to your experience and they want to hear the exact term/phrase that they are looking for, else you will be rejected.
