Interview questions were a mix of LeetCode medium + an occasional hard, with a heavy focus on graphs and real-world solutions. I had around ~5 rounds of interviews, including one Online Assessment (OA). For those who cleared the OA, the rest of the rounds were all on the same day with direct elimination. There was heavy grilling in the managerial rounds, so be prepared to answer questions about past experience in detail. I recommend preparing with around a 50-50 split between Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA) and behavioural questions.

I received an offer for the MTS role at Oracle OCI. My base salary is 28 LPA. I am offered 40k USD in stocks, which vests over 4 years (40%, 30%, 20%, 10% each year). Annually, this averages to 10k USD or 8.3 LPA. My estimated total compensation is 36.3 LPA. I am concerned about potential layoffs in this team, as they recently experienced some. The tech stack is Java, which I prefer. The work-life balance is not considered good in this team. The role is fully remote, aligning with my preference.
