I applied online. The process took 9 months. I interviewed at Oracle (Bozeman, MT)
Interview
They were very down to earth and didn't try and stump me too bad with big problems to solve. They were as interested in how I would work with the team as much as if I could write a palindrome.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What do you like to do after work to unwind and stay fresh?
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Oracle (Chennai) in Jun 2013
Interview
2 technical rounds followed by manager round and he round.
Technical rounds focus on Java sql algorithms and puzzles
Manager round some puzzles and communication
They want to see how you reach a solution. The actual answer doesn't matter for puzzles.
After saying I was selected they took 4 months to give the offer letter.
I have heard approvals for any job opening has to be approved from the top and this takes time especially given their quarterly hiring targets.
So be prepared to wait for up to 3 months.
But if they say you are selected you will get the offer. It will just take time
