So I got a call from Oracle Noida, My total work experience at that time was 3 years 10 months, they scheduled my interview and I reached there on time. First, they gave all the candidates exactly same algorithm questions to solve on paper. I became a friend with a person who had 8.5 years of experience, I asked him, what questions he got to solve? and both of us had same problems exactly same. Questions: 1) Design an algorithm for a Music Service, in which millions of songs are there, just shuffle them and play them no song should be repeated. 2) You have a String "st st Hello ThereThere" O/P -> 2[st ]He2[l]o 2[There] (No space between ']' and 'H' in the output as space is already after st in the square brackets) After 20 minutes waiting, a guy came and took my face to face interview. He asked me 1) How I solved 2 Algorithms in which 1 was mandatory in the written test (basically my approach) 2) How can we validate a field coming from a controller? 3) Some basic questions on loop and query. After that, He told me to wait outside and after half an hour wait. I went to the HR to check my next round. As no 1 came to tell me the status whether I have another round or not. The HR told me that I can leave for the day :(. I saw the same person leaving with whom I became a friend, who had 8.5 years of experience. Because of curiosity, I asked him what was your interview questions? As he was also a Java developer with 8.5 years of experience. I just wanted to know what they asked from him as both of us were rejected. I was shocked when he told me that they asked the exact ditto question from him. I know answers changes from experience level but still, exactly the word to word same questions and they were not even interested in anything very slow procedure. The best part was my new friend live only 2 kilometres away from my home, So I got a free ride in his new Creta.

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.
