      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Oracle (Pleasanton, CA) in Aug 2025

      Interview

      The process started with a 30-minute recruiter screen about background and timeline. Next was a 60-minute technical video interview covering SQL tuning, RMAN backup/restore, Data Guard, and performance troubleshooting. A second technical round focused on real incident scenarios and on-call approach. Final round with the hiring manager discussed stakeholder communication, prioritization, and cross-team collaboration. Communication was clear, expectations were transparent, and the interviewers were professional throughout.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Walk me through how you would diagnose and remediate a sudden performance regression on a critical Oracle database.
