I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Oracle (Bristol, Inglaterra)
Interview
Essentially a carbon copy of the Amazon interview as OCI started by ex AWS staff. with 5 interviews - 2 coding interviews, 1 system design interview, 2 behavioural interviews (with the first interview being with the "bartender" who is someone outside the team). The coding questions were standard Leetcode easy questions and the system design questions was also pretty simple. But as with Amazon interviews the marking tends to be weighted to the behavoural questions to make sure you align with the 9 OCI "values". So I think the best way to prepare is to concentrate on memorising the 9 values, identify which of the values that the question is related to then just try to repeat the values in your answer.
Interview questions [4]
Question 1
How would you architect a system for a SAAS product with many customers
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Oracle (Seattle, WA)
Interview
Fairly easy tech screen. Loop was a bit of a mess. Coding portions required AI which was not mentioned ahead of time. One of the interviewers told me to find bugs in some code using AI, but accidentally pasted the solution instead of the buggy code which led to issues.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Oracle (Nashville, TN)
Interview
Standard coding screen followed by loop rounds.
Loop rounds -
1. System design - focused on the infra aspect more
2. Behavioral - turned into technical quickly and did some white boarding to explain how I cracked a problem.
3. Bartender - as they are all from platform team, most of their questions were targeted for infra position and that confused me.
Bias for action seemed very important for them than any other principle.
Coding - another leetcode medium and was easy to solve.

Question 1
System design - Youtube using barebones infra instead of ootb services
The interviews were mostly medium level leetcode questions. Takes a lot longer than you would expect. About 3 months from beginning to end. The offer stage and background stage take the longest
