Oracle Cerner | Software Developer 3 | Bangalore | Apr 2025
Summary
I interviewed for a Software Developer 3 role at Oracle Cerner in Bangalore, going through a screening, three technical rounds, and a behavioral round. I successfully solved the initial DSA question and system design, but faced challenges with a complex HackerRank problem and a less-than-ideal behavioral interview.
Full Experience
I saw a post by recruiter on LinkedIn and contacted him via InMail. The recruiter contacted within few days asking basic details. Then radio silence for 3 weeks and then got a call from scheduling team for scheduling interviews
Screening Round Taken by a Principle MTS. I was asked 1 DSA question: Q: A conference will be for d days. A schedule of n interviews is given with 3 arrays for start, end and knowledge gained. The interview start time and end time are in days and each day the maximum number of meetings allowed to is k. I need to maximize knowledge gained. -> Solved fully
Got a call from recruiter within 2 days for scheduling LOOP rounds:
Technical Round 1:
I was told to draw the HLD for a social media posting app like instagram. I completed following:
- Functional Requirements
- Non Functional Requirements
- DB Schema
- DB resilient design
- Services
- Diagram We discussed DB choices and reasoning, design decisions, CAP theorem etc.
Tecnical Round 2 (Taken by Director of Engineering):
I was asked basic JAVA Programming questions at first which I answered. Then I was told to solve a hackerrank question. It wasn't realated to DSA but it was a very long and complicated question. I solved it but only 2 test cases passed out of 10
Tecnical Round 3 (Taken by a Principle MTS):
- Java Classes and coding related question
- Level Order traversal for a non binary tree.
Bartender Round:
Taken by someone from different team. I was asked multiple behavioural and questions related to my project. The interviewer was very rude and it seemed like he wasn't even interested in hiring.
