I applied online. The process took 7+ months. I interviewed at Oracle (Austin, TX) in Apr 2018
Interview
1) Basic phone screening with recruiter. Discussed about skillset and background.
2) Onsite or online presentation covering
-- my background
-- doing a sales pitch for cloud and how Oracle helps customers in the transition from on-prem to cloud. Do a brief walkthrough of Oracle cloud IaaS, PaaS, SaaS.
-- Build and present a project preferably using Oracle cloud service(s), otherwise just some project where you were a major contributor.
-- I was asked some very simple questions regarding the entire presentation and project.
3) Almost 30-40 minute phone interview with a manager. Entirely behavioral.

Question 1
Why you want to work for Oracle?
Give me an example you were adaptive?
What are your weaknesses?
Can two microservices communicate with each other?
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Oracle in Apr 2018
Interview
It is the terrible interview Experience I ever had in my Life. The position is for Associate Solution Engineer. First round is HR. Second round has 2 presentations - First one is on Oracle cloud and 2nd one is on Tech Deep dive - Oracle Cloud Demo or Project Highlight.
First presentation went well. For 2nd presentation I have chosen the recent development Project. In the middle of the interview, the interviewer interrupted me and said that I'm interested in Tech Deep Dive on Oracle Cloud not on the project and disconnected the call in the middle of a interview and gave me a reject.
This is not fair at all as Oracle gave the flexibility to choose either of the option. But the interviewer is interested only in Tech Deep dive on Oracle Cloud. Hope this review helps someone.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Oracle (Santa Monica, CA) in Mar 2018
Interview
An initial phone screen and then if the recruiter likes you - you are directly on a tech panel (Virtual but they were suggesting in-person as well).
The tech panel process is actually on the Github. Do lookup for user ksantosh64 to find it.
Part 1
******
They have a presentation (see the link -they provide the basic information that you can use to build) about various layers of cloud. You do get asked questions about how these layers are different and what value do developers get.
Part 2
******
They provide access to a cloud account 5 days before and ask you to do something in their cloud. The account they give is somewhat restricted and you cannot exceed CPUs. I found that Oracle provides 300 dollar trial and hence signed up for the account. They ask for your credit card -but you can use an option so that they will turn you off after the free trial and you wont be charged. You just have to make sure you don't run things for too long and manage it. This has no CPU limit and hence it allowed me to set up Analytics cloud and showcase data visualizations and some prediction (their analytics product is easy to set up).
They also had me code walk through a project that i did in class.
Overall a decent experience.
