The Oracle Coding Interview

What are people saying about Oracle's Interview

PROS

Self paced ramp-up, supportive team and culture, great learning opportunity.
Oracle has very good job security.
Flexible work schedule, great for employees with families.

CONS

Could have to work on old technology as most of the code base for many of the teams is pretty old.
Work/life balance is horrible even with unlimited PTO. Upper management pressures to reach endless deadlines.
Long working hours.

What Oracle employees have to say about interviewing?

"Interviewers will present problems and coding challenges from an array of topics, so it’s best to re-familiarize yourself with coding principles such as: Data structures (lists, stacks, queues, trees, hash tables, sets, tries, graphs), algorithms (sorting, recursion, searching, graph and tree algorithms, dynamic programming), and time and space complexity."

"Going with the simple, brute-force, sub-optimal solution and then iterating on it for time and/or space efficiency is perfectly acceptable. In the worst case, having something working that you can give reasonable suggestions for improving beats having an incomplete implementation of the perfect solution."

“The process started with an online test, which included almost all of the topics from verbals and quants to code debug and computer core subjects. The next round was an online coding test, which consisted of 2 questions, which were both dynamic programing based. This round was followed by the interview process, consisting of 3 rounds and was completed on the same day. There were 2 technical rounds followed by a managerial round.”
