Oracle Interview Experience Application Developer FTP
This article details my experience interviewing for an Application Developer role at Oracle (Batch 2020). Date – 23th August, 2023
The Process:
Online Assessment (OA): The OA consisted of 22 questions:
- 1 coding challenge
- 1 REST API question
- 20 MCQs (including reading comprehension, English, and basic math)
- Technical Interviews: There were two technical rounds and 1 HR round.
1st Round:
The interview began well with introductions. However, mentioning a gap year after high school and then transitioning to IT from a Civil Engineering background sparked a 5-minute discussion that left me feeling nervous and less confident.
Then the interviewer assessed my knowledge of company details (financial performance, CEO name, Co-founder name, name of some Oracle products).
Then Technical questions covered computer networks (data transmission, network buses, and how data will transmit from one end to another end of a network system they had made on paper), OOP principles (pillars, polymorphism).
Outcome: Unfortunately, I wasn’t selected to proceed to the second technical round.
Tips for Future Applicants:
- Be honest, but strategic: While honesty is important, it’s better to avoid mentioning skills you haven’t mastered on your resume.
- Frame your gap year positively: Instead of simply stating a gap, explain how you used that time productively (e.g., preparing for entrance exams).
- Research the company: Be prepared to answer basic questions about Oracle’s financials, leadership, and products.
- Brush up on technical skills: Ensure you’re comfortable with the core technical areas mentioned in the job description and your resume.
- Practice common interview questions: Prepare for common behavioral and technical questions to build confidence.
- Stay calm and confident: Nerves are common, but project confidence in your abilities and approach.
Remember: Every interview is a learning experience. Take this as an opportunity to improve your interview skills and approach for future applications.
