I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Oracle in Aug 2014
Interview
At first they organized an Online test which consist of 4 sections: Verbal, Aptitude, Reasoning and Programming. Test was very easy but you need to be good at technical part to clear programming section cut off.
then i have two rounds of interviews : one is Technical and other is HR.
Both the rounds are Elimination rounds.
They usually prefer students with high CGPA and the one who has done some project work in field of programming.
I strongly suggest to have good speaking skills and a sound knowledge toward basic concepts of OS, DBMS, SQL and JAVA
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Nothing was actually tuff, they asked me about my projects especially related to programming, their were also some questions of HR in technical interview like what is your dream . There was separate marks for each sort of questions they were asking, so one need to be smart and confident to give those answers.
Se divide en varias etapas, lo primero evalúan tu ingles, ya que es requisito para trabajar ahí, normalmente es solo una entrevista en ingles con preguntas sencillas, como cuál es tu actual trabajo, por qué quieres trabajar en Oracle, y normalmente es alguien de RH, después si pasas esa etapa viene la entrevista técnica en la que te preguntarán conceptos básicos, por ejemplo si es para java te preguntarán sobre herencia, polimorfismo, era entrevista puede ser en español o en ingles dependiendo si es alguien de aquí de México tu manager o si es del extranjero y posteriormente te pondrán problemas de algoritmos que tendrás que programar en el tiempo de la entrevista
1 technical phone screen covering basic networking and data structures, followed by a 4-round onsite loop focused heavily on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) scale challenges. The rounds were split between low-level system execution, multi-tenant cloud architecture, and standard relational/non-relational database trade-offs. The interviewers kept drilling into network virtualization, hypervisors, and storage layers.
To prep, I needed to brush up on high-throughput cloud networking patterns and storage engine internals. I utilized Apex Interviewer to simulate full cloud infrastructure design problems.

Question 1
Design a highly secure, multi-tenant virtual cloud network block storage migration system that allows live volume transfers between physical data centers without dropping active I/O operations.
Mostly coding question focused, and some talking about personal experience and terms. Some technical design, you could have chosen any language to complete the coding questions. Questions were simple technical concepts that person came up with at the moment.
