I applied online. I interviewed at Oracle (Seattle, WA)
Interview
Recruiter reached out with generic questions, compensation and then emailed a link to schedule the phone screen.
Technical Screen: Interviewer was very friendly. It was a discussion about my past experience and some behavioral questions. Then asked me a leetcode medium question. Solved it,
I was moved to next rounds that are called loop interviews.
There will be a 30min session with HR to understand what can be expected in the loop rounds.
There will be 4 rounds on the same day with 2 coding challenge rounds, 1 system design and 1 Behavioral with hiring manager.
Round 1: Coding challenge the interviewer was interactive. Asked a leetcode medium on graphs and some behavioral questions.
Round 2: Behavioral with HM. This interviewer was not friendly at all. I have never interacted with someone who can drain all my energy. It seemed like no matter what I say, he had a very judgy look and was not welcoming. I usually do well in behavioral interviews but this was a disaster. I lost all my hope after this round. But pulled my self back for the next rounds soon.
Round 3: System Design. It was a great conversation and I did well. Very warm and friendly interviewer.
Round 4: Coding Challenge. Was asked a leetcode medium on graph shortest path from source to destination.
The recruiter was very friendly.
Verdict: no hire

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Oracle (New York, NY) in Jun 2026
Interview
The role was for a Senior Software Engineer (Data Engineering Oracle Health). A recruiter reached out via LinkedIn and provided a link to apply. After submitting my application, I was scheduled for an initial screening call to discuss my experience and background.
The recruiter screen primarily focused on high-level role fit and basic behavioral questions. Following that, I was invited to a technical interview.
The technical interview was a 1-hour coding session conducted via HackerRank, featuring a LeetCode-style problem. The first ~10 minutes were dedicated to behavioral questions, after which we moved on to the coding challenge. Candidates were allowed to use their preferred programming language.

Given input: [1, 49, 23]
Expected output: ["I", "XLIX", "XXIII"]
Round 1 DSA
Asked a basic sliding window question and a few questions related to Java, like what are imaginary functions and then asked me a few questions based on my resume and then dived into technical aspects of it.

Question 1
It was something related to a sliding window, a medium-level LeetCode
Very slow process. Took 4 months to reply on one interview. Multiple follow up was unanswered. Four Interview round was all cleared despite that it took time to reply. Overall good experience.
