I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Oracle (Dublin, Dublin) in Apr 2024
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter and scheduled for a phone screen call, followed by an initial technical interview. After clearing that, four loop interviews were arranged, which included a mix of technical system design and behavioral rounds.
The day after completing the loop interviews, I received a call from HR informing me that I had successfully passed the interviews and they wanted to proceed further.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Initial Technical Interview: Consisted of one coding test and several behavioral questions related to risk-taking, achievements, and conflict management. The coding test involved using HashMaps and was relatively easy to crack.
Four Loop Interviews:
1. Entirely behavioral—be prepared to tell stories using the STAR method.
2. Two coding questions: Implement a queue using stacks and find the maximum sum of an array.
3. System design questions along with behavioral questions.
4. One coding challenge involving binary search.
Preparation Tips:
- Focus on system design, LeetCode medium-level questions, and behavioral interview techniques.
- Coding preparation should include data structures and algorithms (DSA) and LeetCode medium-level questions.
Round 1 DSA
Asked a basic sliding window question and a few questions related to Java, like what are imaginary functions and then asked me a few questions based on my resume and then dived into technical aspects of it.

Question 1
It was something related to a sliding window, a medium-level LeetCode
Very slow process. Took 4 months to reply on one interview. Multiple follow up was unanswered. Four Interview round was all cleared despite that it took time to reply. Overall good experience.
Interview process contained 1 phone screen and a full loop consisting of 2 coding, 1 managerial system design and 1 behavioral by bar tender
The process was fast and smooth.
