Interviewed Jan 2012 in Bangalore (India) (took a day)
I have applied for it through a job portal.The position is actually for 3-7years experience.I was little surprised when i got a call from the HR(3 PM) since my experience is 2+ years.First round interview was scheduled by 6PM. Around 4 -5 people were there.I was asked some basic questions in ORACLE related to DBA role like Flashback,rman,dataguard.Then second round of interview was scheduled by 8 PM. One person took the interview,It started well but i couldnt answer few questions about 11g features ,active dataguard and partitioning. After that arounf 11PM i got a call from that team lead and it was more a casual talk and finally he said their recruitment team will contact me soon. After going through some reviews posted here im not expecting an offer. But would be happy to get one though.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Orlando, FL (took 3 weeks)
This was an internal interview for a new position. I prepared a 15 page Powerpoint presentation and presented it to a group of VP, Senior Director and Director level staff via web presentation. I was allowed 20 minutes to review my Powerpoint to introduce myself. This was followed by a 30 minute Q&A session in which the panel asked me a variety of situational questions to understand how I would handle conflict, ambiguity and unreasonable customer demands. These two sections followed a short introduction section and we closed with a very short open Q&A. There was a follow-up discussion with one of the Senior Directors to address any followup questions I had.
The interview was very structured and was via remote session. So, I did not have an opportunity to read any of the individual panel members. They simply graded my responses to their questions.
Negotiation Details
There was not truly a negotiation. However, my presentation included a section to describe the reason I had applied and what I hoped to gain from the position (after a slide describing what they would get by having me on the team). In this slide, I was honest and open about what I wanted and why I wanted that. They noted my honesty and openness and appreciated it. I believe my honesty and understanding of the inner-workings of the organization were key factors in their selecting me from 36 other candidates.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Los Angeles, CA (took 2 days)
Interviewer evaluations of applicant responses also tend to be colored by how an applicant behaves in the interview. These behaviors may not be directly related to the constructs the interview questions were designed to assess, but can be related to aspects of the job for which they are applying. Applicants without realizing it may engage in a number of behaviors that influence ratings of their performance. The applicant may have acquired these behaviors during training or from previous interview experience. These interviewee performance constructs can also be classified into three categories: social effectiveness skills, interpersonal presentation, and personal/contextual factors

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Redwood City, CA (took 6 weeks)
I applied online and the recruiter contacted me over email later. After going through my skills over the phone and e-mail communications, the recruiter told me that she will set up phone interviews.
My first phone interview was with the hiring manage - a senior director at Oracle. The position was for based out of Redwood City, CA - but I had all the interviews in Chicago or on the phone. It was an 1 long interview and it pretty much covered all areas of operations - and the qualities that are required in running a sales organization efficiently. The questions were mainly focused on - how do you set up incentives for sales with different sales goals and who deals with different products in different geographic areas. He asked me to explain me in my past experience how I dealt with similar scenarios in my past. He also asked me to explain my experience in dealing with financial P & Ls statements and various financial reporting.
He suggested me to talk with another senior manager - who was in sales - that person would have been one of my audience. During the first 20 mins of the interview, I asked this person about the structure of the entire organization and how incentives are in place for various sales teams. He also asked me about my experiences in dealing with various sales teams ( which I had similar experience dealing with retail store managers in my previous job). He again asked me about experiences in financial reporting and scaling of operations. He suggested me to talk with another person who has been doing this job ( I was interviewing).
After a couple of emails and phone calls, I had a chance to talk with this person. The job as a Business Operations Manager is responsible to run a part of the broader sales organization in a seamless manner leveraging sales and financial reporting, politically savvy, able to over communicate effectively across varied sales teams.
The next round of the interviews was with a Vice President of Sales - After unable to get her on the phone once, I was able to reach her later on another day. She would have been the person to whom I would be working with on a regular basis. She asked me what I worked in my previous careers and how I can leverage my experiences to help her in running her sales organization effectively. Because of my detailed conversations with others in previous rounds of interviews, I was able to comprehend and communicate to her about my experience and how effectively I can help her in running the sales organization. I also explained her about incentives that she can have in her sales organization.
The last round of the interviews is again with the hiring manager - it was a 1:1 face to face interview.But, to my surprise, I had another interview with another peer (in my new job role) of mine. This person asked again all the details of my current job and what else did I do differently in my job. I asked him in detail - how is the job and what did he learn in the past 1.5 months in the job. I also asked him about his experiences in the job. He gave a pretty positive outlook about the job.
It was more than 1.5 long interview. He again asked me about my current job and how I do it differently and what are some of the things that CEO can do differently ( I was working for a Fortune 50) and why do I want to shift out of my current job. He again asked me my understanding about the role. Then he asked me about my salary expectations and then came the biggest surprise in the entire interview process.
He bluntly mentioned a number atleast 30K less than what I said and what we agreed upon initially in my very first round of interview. I kept quiet because I needed an offer and then wanted to talk with them for a package. As I expected I received an offer, but I was very frustrated and disappointed with the offer. The base was very low and there was no relocation offer. This was the worst offer in terms of package that I received. I did not like unprofessional attitude that hiring manager exhibited especially when he mentioned a very lower number than we initially agreed upon.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
Highest amount of unprofessionalism from a hiring manager for an offer. They try to sell that it is Oracle but the most unfortunate fact that hiring manager forget is that there are options for candidates. I had other excellent offers and communicated the fact to the hiring manager about the awful package that he put together

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Bangalore (India) (took a day)
at first there was an online exam and the results were out after almost a month. the interview section consisted of a technical interview first,and those who cleared it were good to go through for the h.r interview. for me the tech was the best one i have ever had i was really having a good time and it lasted almost 40 minutes. i must say it was part tech n part hr. the last hr interview was however not so good, it was very short and the interviewer didn't seem to pay much attention to what i was saying. either way at the end of the day everything worked out and here i am :)

Interviewed Sep 2010 in San Diego, CA (took a day)
As with most companies, an interview in a company can vary widely depending on who just happens to be your interviewer(s). This particular interview was less technical and focused more on the "soft skills" - what was my work style preference, how did I handle conflicts with others, etc etc. The technical part was average difficulty.
