      Senior Principal Software Engineer Interview

      14 Aug 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Oracle in Aug 2019

      Interview

      The interview process was pretty standard. Interview with the HR to see if you are a right fit, followed by the hiring manager with a technical screen, followed by technical screen with team member and finally cultural interview with their boss.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      General questions regarding language and software principles.

      Senior Principal Software Engineer Interview

      28 Mar 2026
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Prague
      Declined offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Oracle (Prague) in Apr 2025

      Interview

      The interview process had 6 rounds. The 1st round was a kind of screening technical round designed to quickly access seniority level. There was a data structure problem to solve and whiteboard system design, each for about 25 minutes. 5 rounds followed, one whiteboard system design (high level), one low-level whiteboard design (class diagram), 3 coding challenges. In total it had 3x system design. Last round with manager had some soft-skills questions, but also technical part. Some of the interviewers were from my product and could answer questions for about 10 minutes each. We also overran a bit a few meetings due to questions, the interviewers didn't mind. Some of the rounds were conducted in local language instead of English which I also welcomed as a proof of flexibility instead of corporate rigidity. When it comes to technical rounds, I rate the interview loop as well designed, well capable of assessing candidate's abilities, professionally lead, probably one of the best I have seen. I have done a few dozen interviewes elsewhere so I can compare. Hiring manager declined to answer my question about what problems/challenges I would be working on, they claimed they didn't know. He seemed a bit too nit-picky, pointing out issues that were explained in CV but I didn't want to argue (they didn't read it carefully enough). The company wanted to proceed to offer but I declined due to concerns about tiny customer base of the product and lack of information about my future work. I would definitely be happy to interview at the company again should a suitable position open in the future. I rate my experience as neutral mainly due to limited information I was given by the hiring manager.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      - tree operations (data structures) - system design for authentication service (whiteboard) - system design for scooter lending company (whiteboard) - low-level design for elevator problem (whiteboard) You shouldn't have a problem if you prepare from well known sites like geeksforgeeks. The problems you get may be different but it's important to take the right approach.

      Question 1

      there are quite some behavioral interview questions, and quite some system design interview questions, and some coding exercise. In general , the coding exercises are easy. for the system design interview questions, I answered with event-driven application architecture. One was happy. It sounds the other had no idea of this kind of application.
