The Oracle interview process usually begins with an online assessment that evaluates your coding skills, problem-solving ability, and understanding of data structures and algorithms. This is followed by one or more technical interviews, which focus on core concepts like Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), SQL, database management, and sometimes Java, Python, or C++ depending on the role. You may also be asked to solve live coding problems or discuss past projects.
In some cases, there is a system design or domain-specific round where you’re evaluated on your architectural thinking and how you approach real-world technical problems. For data-related or analytics roles, data modeling, analytical thinking, and tools like Power BI or Tableau may be tested.
The final stage is typically an HR round, where they assess your communication skills, teamwork, adaptability, and cultural fit. You may also be asked about your long-term goals, interest in Oracle, and willingness to relocate.
Overall, Oracle values both technical expertise and problem-solving mindset, so it's important to be clear, confident, and structured in your responses.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can you explain a full-stack project you’ve worked on, including both frontend and backend technologies, and how you handled data flow and API integration?”
This question tested not just my technical skills in Python, React, and databases, but also how I think end-to-end — from designing the interface to handling backend logic and ensuring data is properly managed.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Oracle (Pune) in Mar 2022
Interview
It’s medium difficulty interview with two easy and medium level leetcode questions.
Be prepared with Java and SQL no matter what. Also, they ask logical puzzles so be prepared for that.
The first interview was a technical interview, where the interviewer showed me about 10 different Python code blocks (python was the language used for this position) and had me identify whether they include an error or not. I'd say the difficulty of this was easy to moderate - included things like tuple unpacking, list comprehension, a simple while loop, class vs. instance variable. I did pretty well on the interview, and the interviewer seemed to think that way too, but unfortunately, he said the position was canceled, and I did not get to move to the next process.

Question 1
The first question was something like:
a = 10
b = 20
a, b = b, a
What is the result?
