Software engineering prep for Oracle

Oracle's interview process for Senior Software Engineers consists of 7 rounds conducted over 3-6 weeks. The process includes an initial recruiter screening, an online coding challenge, and a 4-5 day onsite loop with multiple technical coding interviews, system design assessment, hiring manager evaluation, and a bar raiser round. The assessment focuses on coding proficiency, distributed systems thinking, architectural decision-making, security and compliance understanding (critical for sovereign cloud work), and leadership capability. For the Sovereign Cloud role specifically, interviewers assess your understanding of government cloud challenges, security requirements, OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure) architecture, and ability to build scalable, secure solutions for mission-critical government workloads.
