      Principal Hardware Engineer Interview

      Dec 8, 2017
      Anonymous employee
      San Diego, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Oracle (San Diego, CA) in Jan 2013

      Interview

      This was a transition to a new product group. I already knew the team but the position required for the candidate to be reviewed even if it was an internal or external resource. Only interviewed with the senior hardware architect, the other two declined and approved me as I already knew them internally and they knew my work experience.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      There were a few questions in regards my electrical background and experience but the most difficult question was " describe your strengths (which was not a problem) and your weaknesses (tough to explain)"

      Did not interview under Oracle. Oracle bought Sun. Used to work for Sun Micro. Oracle does not hire any HW engineer in San Diego lately. Only lay engineers off so Larry E. get more bonus.
