Interviewed May 2011 (took 2 months)
After an extensive interview process that took over two months to complete, I was offered the job. The offer was presented to me down to salary, bonus, benefits, etc. I asked for the offer in writing and was told that the written offer would be available when I needed to sign documents right before I started. I was given a target start date. When that day came and went, I stayed in close contact with management. Three months after receiving the offer, I was told that the position was not actually funded. I wanted to post this experience as a warning to others...DO NOT QUIT your existing job until the last possible minute and be a little leary on the Oracle job offers.

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 1 week)
The staffing agency I am working with submitted my application and based on that I had an initial interview. The information given to the agency was vague, so I was curious. I had a decent enough experience on the initial interview with the job description being solidified a little more. The position was actually to act as a contractor, not a temp-to-hire position as originally described. Being hired as an employee is very different from being hired as a contractor makes for a very different work environment.
The interviewer seemed pretty positive that I understood the basics of the position and it was confirmed I was to have a follow up interview with her manager in a few days by phone as they were based out of state.
The morning of the telephone interview, after the interview time I was called by the agency to say the position had changed. It went from an analyst position to a web development position. Meaning it was no longer available. The agency had notified me as soon as possible but hadn't been given much notice themselves. The general perception of the company based on this experience is that communication is not a high priority and they are very disorganized which is frankly scary considering they are supposed to help other companies manage data.

Interviewed May 2010 in Minneapolis, MN (took 6+ weeks)
I went through 8 interviews! Yes, 8, and they were all individual, so that means I had to set up 8 unique chunks of time out of my day over a 45 day period. Many times throughout the process, I was led on by the HR rep and hiring manager that I would be selected. Many of the interviewers were often late, which I have determined is usually reflective of the company. They delayed their decision 3 times and even did not show up for a phone interview on one occasion. The real kicker was when the recruiter called me late the night before the decision to ask if I would accept if they offered the position to me. That's like asking a girl if she would go on a date with you if you did ask. If she says no, you can save yourself the time, if she says yes, you know you have a fallback and can focus attention elsewhere. She even mentioned she would call me to discuss benefits the following day after the hiring manager "hopefully" had good news for me. She also told me I was right at the "Finish-line." After being unneccessarily led on, I had to follow up the next day, only to hear a no? What kept them from screening me out after say.....interview number 4? My time is valuable too ya know.......
