I was contacted via linkedin and asked if I would like to interview with oracle for a graduate position, I accepted the offer and had 1 phone interview with the company. Firstly they used a phonecall instead of something like skype/zoom etc. and called from the UK (I was in Ireland), meaning I could barely hear the interviewer because of the bad phone line which could have easily been avoided. Secondly, the interviewer was a recruiter and asked lots of technical questions that seemed to be more "tech buzzwords" than actual questions. For example, I said I had worked creating API endpoints in my previous work and was asked "what companies endpoints did I work with", to which I kind of just had to reiterate that I was the one making the endpoints for the company I was working for. The recruiter didn't seem to have read my CV, meaning a lot of questions were very basic things that at first I thought were being clarified but instead seemed to be the first time that they had heard the answer. It was pointed out that this wasn't a "graduate program" but instead I would keep the title graduate for an indefinite period which sounds like an awful system. They did not come back to me after this screening and I would recommend other graduates avoid them.

Los dos primeros filtros serán principalmente sobre estructuras de datos y algoritmos, las preguntas pueden ser entre fáciles o medias, aunque la mayoría fáciles como recorrer Binary trees, linked list o incluso graphs. La etapa final será relacionado al equipo que te elija entrevistar, aquí es donde te tendrás que preparar con los temas relacionados al proyecto con el que trabajan y quizás un par de preguntas más de DSA. Preparate para poder programar sin ver la ejecución del código, como un block de notas
