I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Oracle (Athen, , Attika)
Interview
The entire process took around 3 months. A first explanatory call about the position with hr occured, then one call with the manager where we discussed about my current role and background. After some days an assignment was given to me which had to do with developing 2 small software tools . I submitted the code as we had agreed after some days. Then they vanished.
They came up again after 2 months asking me for a face to face interview. There I've met hr/manager/tech guys with the last asking me some quizes ,technical questions and focused also on the work I've done in the assignment. The whole process took almost 3 hrs.
Very friendly procedure with the tech guys being very nice and polite.
Finally they've vanished again with not ever giving a single line of response in an email or even a call or whatever explaining rejection or what has happened.
I would conclude that it's an extremely amateur process and I regret spending time for it . Totally not worth it at all. There are plenty of serious companies that may not be that big as this one but respect you better and ofc are better organized. Much better. If they treat you like this beforehand I'm curious how they'll treat you afterwards.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Oracle (Portland, OR) in Feb 2018
Interview
A one hour phone screen with two or three people. I had to talk through the design of a chat system including client, server, api, etc. Not bad.
I was then called in for an onsite interview. The first hour was an interrogation by 7 people sitting around a big conference table firing question after question at me. Then all but two left and I had a 2+ hour whiteboarding exercise. Not fun.
I honestly thought I did pretty well, but apparently not. I didn't get an offer.
This place seems to put a lot of emphasis on your ability to perform in front of large groups for extended periods of time.
Thankfully they mainly did focus on technology and didn't ask a lot of those types of questions such as: Tell me about a time you had a conflict with another employee.
Besides the stress of the lengthy group interviews, it seems like a cool place to work.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Oracle (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2013
Interview
1 phone interview and 4 rounds of in person interview. Phone interview was very theoretical about core java concepts like hashmap etc. collections, SQL questions. In person interview had 4 rounds with the team. Concurrency design problem was one of the rounds. Other rounds focused on the resume and experience. There was one live coding round. Overall it was easy.
