I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Oracle (San Jose, CA) in Feb 2024
Interview
First interview was a screening with a recruiter and 2 other rounds with Management followed a behavioral round. Screening was about your experience, education and projects and other two were more on project and program management knowledge with a bit of technical questions here and there.

Question 1
What was your role in the last project you was part of and explain
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Oracle in Aug 2025
Interview
They schedule no less than 6 1 hour interviews with random people you may or may not work with. Many of the questions are duplicative. At least 2 of the interviewers use a technique closer to an interrogation than an interview to badger you with rapid-fire nonstop questions and repetitive follow-up questions for the entire hour.
The misuse of time and interrogational, badgering questioning made it clear that this is a poor place to work.

Question 1
Tell me about a project you took over (e.g. may have been failing) where you made changes, resulting in some material net impact. Quantify that impact meticulously.
I applied through other source. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Oracle in Mar 2025
Interview
The interview process was an extremely protracted affair taking more than 3 months to complete. The initial Oracle HR recruiter left the company; the replacement recruiter was unprepared for her role and was even late to the initial screening interview. A series of 6, one-hour technical and behavioral interviews ensued.
Subsequent interview panelists were also late to their meetings, citing an overwhelming backlog while trying to apologize for their unprofessionalism. In one setting and after expressing my solid understanding of the role and its requirements, the hiring manager confirmed my understanding of the position and then asked incredulously "... are you SURE you want this job?".
After a two-week quiet period, I followed up via email with yet a third and final HR recruiter. He responded via phone and apologized profusely for the time its taken to get back with me - citing more mechanical platitudes. I was offered a non-negotiable position with Oracle, but at a lower job classification and reduced pay scale than was advertised, applied for, or what interviewed against.
Overall my experience with Oracle was unprofessional, disorganized and exuded crisis management at its finest.

Define a time for me when you had to achieve unrealistic expectations. What did you do and what was the outcome.
