I applied online. I interviewed at Oracle in Feb 2022
Interview
I interviewed for Senior software engineer - OCI Virtual Machine Infrastructure / Control Plane.
Round 1: Screening by hiring manager where he tries to understand background and wants to check if position is good fit
Round 2: Given the 2 sorted list (not necessary linked list), return the merged sorted list - need to define main method, test cases etc. Also as question does not specify datastructure, we can choose anything from link list/array/ priority_queue etc. Need to justify why.
After 2 rounds of interview I was told other candidates are being considered. Was not given reason for rejection.

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.

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.
