I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Oracle (Champaign, IL)
Interview
Pretty standard - on-campus interview, followed by in person interview with three engineers. Final interview with the VP of engineering. Each of the in-person interviews involved coding a solution to a given problem in about 30 minutes. The coding was done in private - that is, the interviewee was left alone to solve the problem without the interviewer being present. The problems were all very typical computer science problems. Knowledge of data structures and algorithms was the focus. There were no brain-teaser/gotcha type questions in any of the interviews. Culture fit was also, I believe, a component - questions about hobbies, etc.

Question 1
Implement a string sorting algorithm in C without the use of any standard library calls.
Se divide en varias etapas, lo primero evalúan tu ingles, ya que es requisito para trabajar ahí, normalmente es solo una entrevista en ingles con preguntas sencillas, como cuál es tu actual trabajo, por qué quieres trabajar en Oracle, y normalmente es alguien de RH, después si pasas esa etapa viene la entrevista técnica en la que te preguntarán conceptos básicos, por ejemplo si es para java te preguntarán sobre herencia, polimorfismo, era entrevista puede ser en español o en ingles dependiendo si es alguien de aquí de México tu manager o si es del extranjero y posteriormente te pondrán problemas de algoritmos que tendrás que programar en el tiempo de la entrevista
1 technical phone screen covering basic networking and data structures, followed by a 4-round onsite loop focused heavily on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) scale challenges. The rounds were split between low-level system execution, multi-tenant cloud architecture, and standard relational/non-relational database trade-offs. The interviewers kept drilling into network virtualization, hypervisors, and storage layers.
To prep, I needed to brush up on high-throughput cloud networking patterns and storage engine internals. I utilized Apex Interviewer to simulate full cloud infrastructure design problems.

Question 1
Design a highly secure, multi-tenant virtual cloud network block storage migration system that allows live volume transfers between physical data centers without dropping active I/O operations.
Mostly coding question focused, and some talking about personal experience and terms. Some technical design, you could have chosen any language to complete the coding questions. Questions were simple technical concepts that person came up with at the moment.

Something like searching in logs using maps and filter/find data
