I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Oracle (Austin, TX) in Aug 2017
Interview
Very basic process. Met with recruiter, then hiring manager and final panel interview. The recruiter was great when preparing you for the interview. When I met with the hiring manager, she was a young lady who pretty much just explained the job and spoke about what the everyday duties would be. Finally, the panel interview is where they grill you a little bit about how you would handle certain situations.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Past employment questions, what motivates you, how would you define success, how have you faced and problem and overcome.
2 round interview and still waiting for their response
Each interview round lasted for 1h:30 mn
The managers were quite nice and supportive
they do understand it is not that easy
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Oracle (Reston, VA) in Feb 2016
Interview
This was the biggest disappointment and the worst hiring process I have ever experienced in my life especially for a company as prestigious as Oracle. The recruiters are rude, smug, and inconsiderate. The one I had, I have no idea how she was ever hired. She would tell that she would get back to me by the end of the day, but for her that meant two weeks later or even a month, she even forgot about my interview twice. I had to call her and remind her that I had an interview with her that day.
After months of applying and finally landing an interview, I was elated. That interview that I was ecstatic about lasted literally three minutes. She treated me like I was burdening her because she had to interview me. It was the worst interview by a recruiter ever. I've seen Fast food managers interview better. She lied to me and told me that I was getting hired and that my offer letter was getting approved, when they were really down-sizing and not hiring anymore externally. She would never respond to my emails and when she did they were one word responses. After finally getting an interview with an actual manager, thanks to no help of her, that was probably the most professional part of this process. That glimmer of hope was taken away by a ungodly long offer letter approval process, I'm talking 4 months, which turned out to be worthless anyway. I used to dream of working here, now I realize I have more respect for myself then to be subjected to this dehumanizing experience again.
