Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 7 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Oracle (Austin, TX) nel mese di ago 2020
Colloquio
Due to COVID all interviews were either phone or video call
1. Applied online
2. After long time HR called, experience, expectation, etc (I had forgotten about my application)
3. After long time Hiring Manager phone screening (45min, again I had no memory of HR call)
4. Phone call with one of Engineer (2 coding question)
5. Same day 5 rounds back to back video call (3 coding, 1 manager, 1 semi problem solving + project questions)
6. Multiple rounds of call with HR to discuss offer. Recruiting HR is different then who scheduled interview calls. Discussion of offer was with different HR and every time had a question about offer or different salary, respective HR will call the next day with answer.
All technical interviewers were very nice and had patience. More points were on behavior and approach.
FYI: got to know there is no annual bonus (%age of base salary).
Domande di colloquio [1]
Domanda 1
1. Write program to read n lines from file (checking of efficient code)
2. Given list of list as input write a program to read elements from list and put data from list to a file. Interviewer kept increasing complexity
3. Given N interviewers and M candidates. Write program which can generate calendar for each interviewers. Constraint, each candidate should have 4-5 rounds with unique interviews to complete hiring process.
4. Question about boot loading (primary/secondary loading) and so on.

Colloquio
Fairly easy tech screen. Loop was a bit of a mess. Coding portions required AI which was not mentioned ahead of time. One of the interviewers told me to find bugs in some code using AI, but accidentally pasted the solution instead of the buggy code which led to issues.

Colloquio
Standard coding screen followed by loop rounds.
Loop rounds -
1. System design - focused on the infra aspect more
2. Behavioral - turned into technical quickly and did some white boarding to explain how I cracked a problem.
3. Bartender - as they are all from platform team, most of their questions were targeted for infra position and that confused me.
Bias for action seemed very important for them than any other principle.
Coding - another leetcode medium and was easy to solve.
Domande di colloquio [1]
Domanda 1
System design - Youtube using barebones infra instead of ootb services
The interviews were mostly medium level leetcode questions. Takes a lot longer than you would expect. About 3 months from beginning to end. The offer stage and background stage take the longest
