Interviewed Sep 2010 in Bangalore (India) (took a day)
I took the interview for Oracle(siebel group) in Bangalore location. A recruiter from Oracle had directly called me. I had around 3 rounds
1) The interviewer tested my C++ basics and gave me some puzzles.
i)Print all leaf nodes of a tree
ii)Write a program which behaves differently in C and C++
iii) Overload both pre and post increment operator in C++
2) The second round was about the projects and application related.
He asked about singleton pattern, threads and sockets and mutex/semaphore
3)The last round was manager round
He said I was through and offered a very good package (Please see below)
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
The manager told me that he will roll out the offer a little bit late . But assured me that he will roll out the offer within 2 months. Unfortunately, I had already served my notice period and waited for 2 long months. Again , the manager called me on phone and informed me that offer will be rolled out after 1 month.
Ultimately , after 3 and a half months, I got REGRE letter saying thy are not able to hire me for UNAVOIDABLE reasons.
1. Be very very careful with Oracle India offer rollouts. If they are postponing, then better have a backup offer ready.

Interviewed Jan 2011 (took 3 weeks)
I applied online and immediately got a phone call from recruiter very next day. The recruiter scheduled phone conversation with hiring manager who provided me a coding assignment to be worked upon offline.
I got no feedback whatsoever on the assignment. Another phone interview was scheduled with additional team member. The interview was pretty vague just to find out my skills and some knowledge questions which I am sure I answered thoroughly and correctly.
I followed up after a week and recruiter replied in negative. The worst part is I spent several hours on the coding assignment that at least deserve some feedback in my honest opinion and I found the behavior very unprofessional. Add to that there was no update unless I followed up. Thumbs down Oracle.

Interviewed Dec 2010 in Bangalore (India) (took a day)
The telephonic round was mainly core java and some design on a virtual case.
1:1 interview consisted of 3 rounds. Tech Lead, Architect and Manager round before the HR.
Tech Lead Round was based on Core Java combined with J2EE dealing only with concepts.. SCJP tutorial is enough for the same.
Architect round was only on data structures and coding based on some given problem.
Manager round was on completely on designing and further questions depending on what you design.

Interviewed May 2010 in Redwood City, CA (took 2 days)
I am a citizen working in Asia currently. I got two rounds of phone interviews with the company. There are about 3-4 people interviewers on the phone each time. Generally start with an introduction and go right into technical question ranging from basic Java, to algorithm, to IQ question and design questions.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Hyderabad (India) (took a day)
There are 4 levels of interview, two technical and two managerial (one manager and one director). First interview generally is by technical member in the team. Questions typically will be on all the java fundamentals and technologies like JSP, Servlets, JMS, JNDI, JDBC, Oracle and on application server like Weblogic. They will generally have one or two puzzles either that require applying algorithms or applying logic. They give value to people. You are treated well by asking you questions like if you need water and if you are relaxed etc.
In the second level of interview they generally would ask you to design a system which includes both database structure and class diagrams. This round will be tougher than first one. Once you clear this round you are sure to get the offer. Third and Fourth rounds are basically focused on knowing the reason for the change and to judge your overall capabilities other than coding.
