I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Oracle (Cupertino, CA) in Apr 2015
Interview
I emailed a manager for Internal transfer. He replied back and set up a Phone interview with one of the Principal engineers. But eventually had 2 phone interviews.
The first interview was with the manager and second with the principal engineer.
I had to schedule interview 2-3 times because the Principal engineer couldn't come up with a time. Also, one time, we set up a time but the engineer never called. We had to setup again.
Apart from that, overall a positive experience. Will apply again after some months.

Se divide en varias etapas, lo primero evalúan tu ingles, ya que es requisito para trabajar ahí, normalmente es solo una entrevista en ingles con preguntas sencillas, como cuál es tu actual trabajo, por qué quieres trabajar en Oracle, y normalmente es alguien de RH, después si pasas esa etapa viene la entrevista técnica en la que te preguntarán conceptos básicos, por ejemplo si es para java te preguntarán sobre herencia, polimorfismo, era entrevista puede ser en español o en ingles dependiendo si es alguien de aquí de México tu manager o si es del extranjero y posteriormente te pondrán problemas de algoritmos que tendrás que programar en el tiempo de la entrevista
1 technical phone screen covering basic networking and data structures, followed by a 4-round onsite loop focused heavily on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) scale challenges. The rounds were split between low-level system execution, multi-tenant cloud architecture, and standard relational/non-relational database trade-offs. The interviewers kept drilling into network virtualization, hypervisors, and storage layers.
To prep, I needed to brush up on high-throughput cloud networking patterns and storage engine internals. I utilized Apex Interviewer to simulate full cloud infrastructure design problems.
