I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Oracle (Noida) in Jan 2017
Interview
First round is telephonic round which was ok.
Then two face 2 face at Noida office. They are not sure what they are looking for..

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
15 minutes interviewer argued why cloud deployment is necessary. Now who will tell him that it is because of to minimize cost of infrastructure, reduce the time to develop and with minimal maintenance resources, scaling, providing HA.....Only God knows what he wants to listen.
Questions asked more like overloading, hashmap.....Interviewer is not interested in listening the answers. He is just trying to portray himself like he is Java creator.
For 15 mins he was asking me priorityqueue. Till last I am not able to get it he is trying to ask to code priorityqueue with DS logic or implement it using exsting java.util.priorityqueue as example.
"He is also very poor in communication not able to explain the questions properly.'
Second interviewer seems like 3-4 years exp and he just stuck in Spring postconstruct implementation...how you will implement your own.Gurrrr..how one can remember all the spring core inside implementation.
In nutshell both the guys seems very immature in taking interviews of any senior candidate.
They should ask some design questions , some architecturial questions.
Seems like they are not doing any new stuff like cloud computing/big data technologies
Don't waste your time in this boring company.
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.

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
