This interview was for a Federal Sales Role.
It started with the usual phone interview. It went okay, but it wasn't the best experience I've had.
I then was scheduled along with 7 others to show up as a group. We were given a great, positive overview of the Oracle by a current person in the role we were interviewing for. That was very cool. Also a couple of the executuves were there as well and gave a couple of short, but good speeches.
We then were all split up and went to interview with 3 different hiring managers. The interviewers themselves were cordial, but very sterile, with the exception of one.
I hate to say this, but when our group was assembled in a conference room prior to the individual interviews, one of the female interviewers came in and said "Wow, we aren't going to win any EEOC awards today are we?" I was totally shocked. Yes, as it happened we were all white males. Of course, no one remarked about this comment, but I am sure none felt very good about it. Out of the 3 interviewers there was a white female, a black female, and a black male. I only say this in lieu of the comment the Oracle representative made to us all.
Again, the interviewers were very polite and respectful, but to my knowledge none of the group that day was hired.
