The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Oracle (Barcelone) in Feb 2024
Interview
Entrevista inicial
Primer entrevista técnica con un ejercicio práctico
Luego lo que llaman un loop, que son 5 entrevistas con diferentes personas de la empresa.
4 de ellas son ejercicios prácticos de código. Y una con un manager.
Al final de este loop se realiza oferta o rechazo.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Diseño de un sistema a alto nivel para realizar transacciones con una disponibilidad de unidades.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Oracle (Seattle, WA)
Interview
Fairly easy tech screen. Loop was a bit of a mess. Coding portions required AI which was not mentioned ahead of time. One of the interviewers told me to find bugs in some code using AI, but accidentally pasted the solution instead of the buggy code which led to issues.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Oracle (Nashville, TN)
Interview
Standard coding screen followed by loop rounds.
Loop rounds -
1. System design - focused on the infra aspect more
2. Behavioral - turned into technical quickly and did some white boarding to explain how I cracked a problem.
3. Bartender - as they are all from platform team, most of their questions were targeted for infra position and that confused me.
Bias for action seemed very important for them than any other principle.
Coding - another leetcode medium and was easy to solve.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
System design - Youtube using barebones infra instead of ootb services
The interviews were mostly medium level leetcode questions. Takes a lot longer than you would expect. About 3 months from beginning to end. The offer stage and background stage take the longest
