Interviewed Oct 2008 (took a day)
The interview started with behavioral questions. After that the interviewer asked me questions about my resume, what all I had done in the university i.e. academic projects. For the technical part the questions were mostly related to unix and PL/SQL. Also I was asked basic Java questions such as garbage collection, access speccifier etc. Only the unix part was difficult rest of the interview was average.

Interviewed Aug 2008 in Redwood City, CA (took a day)
Applied online. Was offered an interview onsite with 5 groups, about 1 hour for each group. Each group asked me questions about my background, specifically the projects I worked on. Everyone was quite nice and respectful. They took me out to lunch onsite with people unrelated to the groups I was interviewing so that I could ask more direct questions, if needed.

Interviewed Nov 2009 (took a day)
The interviews are more about the company providing information about their teams rather than judging the candidate. There were multiple interviews, each lasting about an hour and a quarter. The interviews were generally conducted by a manager or director, and sometimes had some technical component by an engineer. Overall, they provided a good experience, with a lot of information about specific teams.

Interviewed Dec 2008 in Bangalore (India) (took a day)
Oracle came to my collage campus for hiring. The selection process consisted of 3 rounds of personal interview in technical domain and 1 personal interview in HR domain. First interview mainly consisted of puzzles and C basics. Second interview consisted of Data Structures and Algorithms (BST, Stacks, Queues, Linked Lists etc.). Third interview round was based on coding skills (how well you can code in C). They were checking syntax and coding style. Fourth and last HR interview was easy. Interviewer asked about my background after looking my resume and that's it.

Interviewed Apr 2007 (took 2 days)
The employer was very friendly and comforting during the interview. There were 4-5 1:1 interviews during the day, and each was about 30 minutes to an hour. It wasn't too technical as other software companies might be; it was more personal and casual. The culture was quite individual in that each one does their job without supervision on most days.
