Phone Screen: The first step in the interview process is a brief phone screen with a member of the HR team. This is an opportunity for the candidate to learn more about the company and the position, and for the HR team to assess the candidate's qualifications and fit for the role. First Round Interview: The next step is a first round interview with one or more members of the hiring team. This interview is typically more in-depth than the phone screen, and will focus on the candidate's skills, experience, and fit for the company culture. Second Round Interview: If the candidate is successful in the first round interview, they may be invited to a second round interview. This interview is typically more technical in nature, and may involve a skills assessment or case study. Decision: After all of the interviews have been completed, the hiring team will make a decision about whether to offer the position to the candidate.
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.
