Hands down the worst experience I've ever had with a recruiter. The recruiter refused to ever email me and would only call me out of the blue without scheduling any conversation. In our initial conversation, I tried to review my history with the recruiter but she kept interrupting me asking questions completely unrelated to the experience I was sharing. It was obvious she was just wanting to check boxes and fill out an internal form without really learning anything about me. I shared that I was looking to interview in about 4 weeks in the future as I wanted time to prepare. She told me this would be unacceptable and that I had to interview within the week. I initially agreed as I was taken back by how forceful she was. After the call, I emailed her stating I wanted to have enough time to prepare and that I understood if this impacted the roles I could be considered for. No response. If that is the average experience at Oracle, I would never want to work there. Got the feeling they just wanted devs they could walk over and be forceful with.
Other Senior Software Engineer Interview Reviews for Oracle
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.

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.
