I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Oracle (Deerfield, IL) in Sep 2014
Interview
The interview and hiring process took several months.
First was an online application to their Careers website, which is precisely as annoying as any other.
I received a call back, and was interviewed by three different managers in a group setting. They asked basic programming and critical thinking questions, and some of the usual interview questions.
They called back about a week or two later, and I went on a tour of the facility. I was given an employment contract relatively swiftly, but the start date was about two months after I was first interviewed.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Oracle (Kansas City, MO) in Jun 2025
Interview
kind people interviewed me and gave me some softball questions. It was the most stereotypical interview and surprisingly not really any technical questions. So yeah just be prepared to talk about your past experiences if you interview at this role.
