Interviewed Nov 2010 in Denver, CO (took 2 months)
Oracle hires very well and this is obvious during the interview process. I spoke with several different managers before doing two in-person interviews. The background check was really, really extensive. The company that does the check looks at the past 3 companies you worked at and you have to list your salary at each one. But overall, good, thorough process to vet only good candidates.

Interviewed Feb 2011 (took 5 days)
Phone call with a recruiter to go over sales metrics, quota achievment etc. Next was a in person interview with 3 mgrs, one at a time. Oracle only wants to hire good performers so be prepared to talk about your sales success and what happened when you lost a deal etc.
They are a big "next steps" company, that is there sales process and it carries over into interviews. Make sure to ask what the next steps will be, you have to close them for the next interview. Next will be a presentation on a product of your choosing, sometimes it's a webex sometimes in person. Last is an interview with the VP.
I think it would be a fun place to work and a great position to have on your resume.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Burlington, MA (took 2 weeks)
Interview was not carried out by any of the people on the list sent. The questions had nothing to do with the huge amount of information given to me to prepare. I was asked to stay til 7.30 pm, a full hour & a half later than scheduled.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
I had a second face to face interview which I was late for. I told my recruiter in advance that I would be around 30 minutes late. She told me to go anyway & explain why I was late. I completed the hour long journey to the office. They turned me away at the door.I have 10 years experience at the top of my profession, an MBA & an Law Degree. Oracle treated me very disrespectfully. My wife has 23 years experience in Recruiting, including 4 years at Mckinsey. She has never turned any candidate away at the door (particulalry if She had already asked the candidate to appear at the Office 30 minutes before).

Interviewed Jan 2011 (took 2 months)
I got an interview through an employee referral. The first interview was on the phone with the recruiter and was basically a screener phone call. She was quite pleasant. The second interview was with someone who worked in the group I was going to be interviewing with. Her questions were much more about my experience and definitely asked some difficult questions that took me off guard and were meant to show my thought process. She did however, ask me to come in for a panel interview. The panel interview consisted of three people who were all managers of the group. They were nice enough, but generally cold. After that interview, I was given an oracle product to give a powerpoint presentation on. I did that with the same group the next week. I then met with a senior manager after that, which was more of a get to know you kind of interview. I thought that was going to be the final step, but then got called in for another round with two people i hadn't met. I ended up not getting an offer after that.

Interviewed Sep 2009 in Redwood City, CA (took a day)
Round robin process. You speak to 3 to 4 people. After you are though they know if they want you or not. They ask various questions to see how smart you are. They hire bright people. They may ask you to make a pretend call and sell an item to someone.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Reston, VA (took 2 days)
This interview was for a Federal Sales Role.
It started with the usual phone interview. It went okay, but it wasn't the best experience I've had.
I then was scheduled along with 7 others to show up as a group. We were given a great, positive overview of the Oracle by a current person in the role we were interviewing for. That was very cool. Also a couple of the executuves were there as well and gave a couple of short, but good speeches.
We then were all split up and went to interview with 3 different hiring managers. The interviewers themselves were cordial, but very sterile, with the exception of one.
I hate to say this, but when our group was assembled in a conference room prior to the individual interviews, one of the female interviewers came in and said "Wow, we aren't going to win any EEOC awards today are we?" I was totally shocked. Yes, as it happened we were all white males. Of course, no one remarked about this comment, but I am sure none felt very good about it. Out of the 3 interviewers there was a white female, a black female, and a black male. I only say this in lieu of the comment the Oracle representative made to us all.
Again, the interviewers were very polite and respectful, but to my knowledge none of the group that day was hired.

Interviewed Jan 2007 in Reston, VA (took 3 weeks)
The hiring process was ok everyone was very pleasant, but the red tape that company has is ridiculous. I interviewed from my first contact with the recruiter. Then two weeks later the three phone interviews I had. Then I was flown in town month after that and was there for only two hours then flew right back.. They made me an offer, before they even had approval to hire anyone. That process for approval took over a month.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
By the time I got the official offer it was much less than the hiring manager told me, as they were in a hiring freeze. With the role being in an area triple the cost of living than where I would be relocating from and was much less than what I making, I declined. I had done due diligence and with what they were offering me for inside sales it was below market value and I would not be able to even qualify for an apartment on my own. I worked with Realtors and they suggested I get a roommate. That was "The" deal breaker for me. Oracle is a fantastic company with great products, but the compensentation is below market.
