I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Oracle in Oct 2008
Interview
The interview started with behavioral questions. After that the interviewer asked me questions about my resume, what all I had done in the university i.e. academic projects. For the technical part the questions were mostly related to unix and PL/SQL. Also I was asked basic Java questions such as garbage collection, access speccifier etc. Only the unix part was difficult rest of the interview was average.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Oracle (Redwood City, CA) in Aug 2008
Interview
Applied online. Was offered an interview onsite with 5 groups, about 1 hour for each group. Each group asked me questions about my background, specifically the projects I worked on. Everyone was quite nice and respectful. They took me out to lunch onsite with people unrelated to the groups I was interviewing so that I could ask more direct questions, if needed.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Oracle in Nov 2009
Interview
The interviews are more about the company providing information about their teams rather than judging the candidate. There were multiple interviews, each lasting about an hour and a quarter. The interviews were generally conducted by a manager or director, and sometimes had some technical component by an engineer. Overall, they provided a good experience, with a lot of information about specific teams.
