I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Oracle in Sep 2015
Interview
I applied online through my college and then was contacted by the recruiter to meet at the career fair. After that, we set up a 1:1 in-person interview which was half her explaining the role and me walking her through my essay. Be sure to highlight things that personally motivate you, such as athletics or other forms of inner-drive here.
I was then referred on to the next round with a recent graduate of the program. This interview was entirely behavioral questions and over the phone. Afterwards, the recruiter called me to let me know that I would be continuing on the the next round with a regional manager which would have the next set up. I had accepted another offer before I did this interview, but I assume the setup would have been similar to that of the previous two.
Oracle really made this a seamless process, and I really appreciate how open they were about salary and the logistics of the program. I recommend for anyone interested.

Interview
Very standard. Had 2 on the phone interviews along with 1 in person interview. Process was about a month. It was very conversation based. They want to get a feel for who you are, if you really are passionate about sales and Oracle, and if you would be a good fit. Compared to other interviews, I felt like they really did care about how you fit, rather than asking scripted questions and simply checking them off 1 by 1.
