Summary
I completed five interview rounds at Oracle Health for an SMTS position, covering DSA, system design, and behavioral topics, and ultimately received an offer.
How it went
Oracle Health (IC3 – SMTS)
3 years of experience, Tier 1. Applied via careers portal. All rounds (except first) were scheduled together and were non‑eliminatory.
1. DSA Screening round
- Median of Two Sorted Arrays
2. DSA + HLD
- Top‑K Elements (Bucket Sort)
- HLD: URL Shortener
- Honestly messed this up a bit, rusty on this and made up some numbers which got called out
3. DSA + LLD
- Another Top‑K variation
- LLD: File Exporter System
- Focus on using Factory Design Pattern
4. HM + HLD Round
- Work experience discussion
- HLD: Design an API Gateway
- This went smoothly
- Round ended early + discussion about team/work
5. Bartender Round
- Very open‑ended
- Focused on real‑world problems which I solved, metrics, and implementations
- Felt vague and tough to judge performance
- Was pretty sure I wouldn’t make it after this
Despite fumbling in one of the earlier rounds, still got the offer. Felt like consistency across rounds carried me.
Current compensation: 8 LPA fixed + 4 variable
Offer: 35 LPA fixed + $20,000 RSUs over 4 years (40/30/20/10)
