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.
