I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Oracle (Guadalajara, Jalisco) in Oct 2015
Interview
I applied through college career fair. First, I had to do a simple test about sorting, nodes. I believe this result does not affect at all on your application process. Then I got scheduled a technical interview. You meet with your interviewer and apparently you are supposed to solve 2 problems. I barely finished one, I wasn't expecting a DP problem to be honest, and yeah my interviewer told me that he wasn't looking for an exact solution, just to see how you handle a problem and give one possible solution. I thought I didn't do ok because I didn't solve those 2 problems but after 2 weeks I got scheduled for an interview via skype. It was one problem, and they were looking for a specific answer which I was able to give. Then I got contacted by HR and they told me that I got in! But I haven't accepted it yet.
Interview questions [4]
Question 1
Matrix mxm with 0s and 1s. I got asked to find the maximum sequence of 1s that formed rectangles.
There are three boxes, one contains only apples, one contains only oranges, and one contains both apples and oranges. The boxes have been incorrectly labeled such that no label identifies the actual contents of the box it labels. Opening just one box, and without looking in the box, you take out one piece of fruit. By looking at the fruit, how can you immediately label all of the boxes correctly?
Se divide en varias etapas, lo primero evalúan tu ingles, ya que es requisito para trabajar ahí, normalmente es solo una entrevista en ingles con preguntas sencillas, como cuál es tu actual trabajo, por qué quieres trabajar en Oracle, y normalmente es alguien de RH, después si pasas esa etapa viene la entrevista técnica en la que te preguntarán conceptos básicos, por ejemplo si es para java te preguntarán sobre herencia, polimorfismo, era entrevista puede ser en español o en ingles dependiendo si es alguien de aquí de México tu manager o si es del extranjero y posteriormente te pondrán problemas de algoritmos que tendrás que programar en el tiempo de la entrevista
1 technical phone screen covering basic networking and data structures, followed by a 4-round onsite loop focused heavily on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) scale challenges. The rounds were split between low-level system execution, multi-tenant cloud architecture, and standard relational/non-relational database trade-offs. The interviewers kept drilling into network virtualization, hypervisors, and storage layers.
To prep, I needed to brush up on high-throughput cloud networking patterns and storage engine internals. I utilized Apex Interviewer to simulate full cloud infrastructure design problems.

Question 1
Design a highly secure, multi-tenant virtual cloud network block storage migration system that allows live volume transfers between physical data centers without dropping active I/O operations.
Mostly coding question focused, and some talking about personal experience and terms. Some technical design, you could have chosen any language to complete the coding questions. Questions were simple technical concepts that person came up with at the moment.
