I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Oracle (Bengaluru) in Feb 2021
Interview
I had applied for the job via LinkedIn. Got a call from the hiring manager in a day or two for the screening round which involved technical questions as well as a brief walk through of my career and lasted for about 45 mins. The hiring manager was very friendly and polite. I cleared the screening and then came the first technical round which was of of around 1 hour 15 mins and was again taken by an interviewer who also was patient and polite. I cleared this round as well and was said that I would have another technical round. This round was taken by a lady interviewer who didn’t really seem friendly like the others. Seems she had already made up her mind to reject me though I answered most of the technical questions put by her. She did put some situation based questions as well which I answered based on my perception. When I got the feedback for this round, to my utter dismay it was mentioned that they are looking for someone who has good problem solving skills in the given technology . The surprising part here is the lady interviewer had never put any questions that could have tested my problem solving skills. It came as a real surprise as well as shock to me because I was pretty confident that I had done well in all the last round as well. Pretty disappointing experience .

Technical - OOPS and DB Concepts
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Oracle
Interview
There will be one technical screening round initially. After that, you will move on to the final interview loop, which typically includes Data Structures & Algorithms (DSA), system design, and a bar raiser interview round to assess overall fit and depth.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Oracle (New York, NY) in Jun 2026
Interview
The role was for a Senior Software Engineer (Data Engineering Oracle Health). A recruiter reached out via LinkedIn and provided a link to apply. After submitting my application, I was scheduled for an initial screening call to discuss my experience and background.
The recruiter screen primarily focused on high-level role fit and basic behavioral questions. Following that, I was invited to a technical interview.
The technical interview was a 1-hour coding session conducted via HackerRank, featuring a LeetCode-style problem. The first ~10 minutes were dedicated to behavioral questions, after which we moved on to the coding challenge. Candidates were allowed to use their preferred programming language.

1. HR call: just to confirm that you are interested in the role, and you actually are an engineer.
2. Hiring manager interview: Some behavioral questions. A simple coding problem focusing on algorithm.
3. The final loop: including a system design, a data structure/algorithm problem, a problem solving interview, a code maintainability problem. and a project deep dive session.
Overall the interview process was fast, completed in about a week. The outcome was also fast. However, they do not provide a feedback on the interview.

Question 1
For the problem solving question, you are asked to find the minimum flips required to make a NxN board of black/white pieces completely symmetric. That is, the final state must be symmetric horizontally, vertically, and diagonally. You can flip one piece at a time. The entire board is filled with the black/white pieces.
