Hi all, I recently completed my onsite interview with Oracle oci team. My interviews went well expect the one with the bartender. I wanted to know who has a major influence on the hiring decision, hiring manager or the bartender. I was up for a front end role but my interview with bartender had questions completely involving computer networking.
Bartender or bar raiser ?
They call it bartender as when you go to a bar, you must have to talk to the bartender in order to get your drinks. They just didn't want to be seen as a copycat of Amazon. 😂
Yeah😂
YOE?
0.5
Hey OP. Can I DM you for your interview experience?
Ultimate decision is up to the hiring manager, tho BT input is heavily considered.
Okay okay.
Fuk no. I am a bartender myself. We aren’t autocratic. It’s a democracy. Both parties have to agree.
Been a part of few loops and debriefs myself. It all comes down to HM vs Bartender in the end. However if more than 1-2 interviewers give a reject then it's reject too.
What was asked in your regular rounds? Maybe the bartender just likes to ask networking questions to everyone but with different expectations.
Regular rounds was a few questions from resume and coding.
Sorry, you got a weird bartender. It happens sometimes. If you don't pass, just try again in 6 months.
I have scheduled for M3 Level next week, any inputs will be great
I had an interview loop with oracle OCI yesterday and for the hm round, the hm gave me a coding problem to solve which I was not able to. But he did not talk to me at all. the problem statement required it to be running in log(n) time, I asked if I could write O(n) he said No and that was the only conversation he had. All other interviews were fine, even the bartender was very good. I was able to answer most of the design questions and she even mentioned that one of the ideas that I gave she had the same idea for solving the given problem. Not sure how much hm weighs. But the interview with hm was the weirdest one.
Hey can I dm you?
Lmao what kind of networking questions
Tcp udp 3 way handshake kind of stuff
Why ask networking questions if the role has nothing to do with it? Did you have some networking related stuff on your resume? Were you able to answer those questions well?
