I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Oracle (Bukarest, ) in Sep 2016
Interview
3 telephone interviews with recruiter, hiring manager and director. The process took 2 weeks. After that I got an informal offer in the following week. After having the informal offer, pre-screening check is made where I need to provide two references-one from ex-employer and one from my current employer. After this stage the position went to approval. In 2 weeks time I got the official offer as well. 10 days after having the official offer, approving it (which comes with contract) and resigning from my job, I was informed that the position is withdrawn due to the cost cutting and strategic decisions through an email.

Sales pitch
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Oracle (Austin, TX) in Nov 2015
Interview
Very simple. Had a quick 10-min phone interview with my campus recruiter who then approved me to interview at the office in Austin. Went to Austin for the interviews and talked to two managers, both very friendly. Felt more like a 20 minute conversation than an actual interview.
Basically 4 interview processes. The first interview consisted of a 10 min conversation with your recruiter. The second interview was an hour interview with a hiring manager. The third interview lasted approximately 30 minutes and was with two other hiring manager. And finally the last and fourth interview was with the regional manager for the business development consultant team.
