I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Oracle in Oct 2014
Interview
I applied on LinkedIn, got an invite for a call within a week. The recruiter messaged me on LinkedIn and asked me to email her, I did. She asked me for a few time slots, and I provided her with them. She called me (7 minutes late) and explained the position to me. Then, she asked me to speak about myself and my experience. As I was about to tell her about myself, she cut me short by saying "I'm sorry I didn't realize you graduated a year ago. We're looking for someone with 2 years experience." I have 1 and 1/2 years of experience working full time and 1 and 1/2 continuous years of experience as an intern (working 30+ hours during the internship). She had my resume the whole time, contacted me on LinkedIn, and both places specified that I've graduated in 2013. How could she waste my time by not reading my profile or resume? Very disrespectful. I'm never applying to Oracle again.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Oracle in Apr 2011
Interview
I was a campus hire, so there were only 2 rounds of interview. First round was Group discussion and then we had a Panel Interview. The Panel Interview had personality test, selling skills and stress interview, all compressed into a hour long discussion
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Oracle in Jan 2014
Interview
Initial contact was very easy to set up as I was dealing directly with a recruiter. Contact thereafter was a bit patchy and really only led anywhere when I pressed the recruiter for details. The "HR questions" weren't too bad and all of the people I spoke with were very personable when I could get them on the phone. The process was smooth in transitioning from one phase to another.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
When I spoke with the regional manager, he asked me to make a small sales pitch for an item - which was surprising because he had just finished explaining to me that this was not a true sales role.
