I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Oracle in Oct 2013
Interview
Telephone interview (Very simple mostly about cache implementation). Then you interview with 5 different people from different teams ... 45 minutes each. I met with the Senior Manager, Senior Software Developers, Platform Developer, Network Group, and entry level employees. Oracle got back to me exactly one week after the interview.
