I applied through college or university. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Oracle
Interview
First met a recruiter at a career fair, which was followed up with a casual in-person interview on campus. After that, you have 2-3 phone interviews with increasingly higher sales managers. Both the in-person interview and the first phone interview was pretty basic. You walk them through your resume, they ask some behavioral questions, and then you ask them questions about the job/company. They mainly just want to make sure you fit in with the company and really want to work there. I haven't had the 3rd phone interview yet, but so far the process has been relatively straight forward.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why Sales? Why Oracle? What motivates you? How do you define success?
First phone interview with the HR. She agreed I was a good fit for the position and she wanted to move forward with the interview process. I then got ghosted. I think it's always good to follow up with the candidate.
You have an interview with the Hiring Manager and their boss in round 2.
Then you'll do a presentation and talk about OCI as well as your approach to sales, how to breakdown accounts and plan your week, etc.
Two phone interviews with the recruiter. Straightforward process. Went through class of program so it may be different than an experienced hire sales program. Role was for telesales so they were assessing my ability to communicate clearly over the phone.
