      Principal Software Engineer Interview

      27 Oct 2025
      Anonymous employee
      Bengaluru
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Oracle (Bengaluru)

      Interview

      There were three rounds of interviews in total, and each stage went very well. First Round: Conducted with a Principal Engineer. This round focused primarily on my technical background, problem-solving approach, and understanding of core engineering concepts. The discussion was engaging and provided a great opportunity to showcase my hands-on experience. Second Round: Held with Senior Technical Director. This session went deeper into system-level problem-solving, project experience, and technical decision-making. I found it to be both challenging and insightful, with a strong alignment between my skills and the role’s technical expectations. Third Round: A behavioral interview with the HR Hiring Manager, where we discussed my teamwork style, adaptability, and overall fit within the company culture. The conversation was positive and reinforced my interest in joining the organization. Overall, all three rounds felt encouraging, and I left each discussion with an even stronger interest in the position and the team.

      Principal Software Engineer Interview

      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Oracle (Seattle, WA)

      Interview

      Fairly easy tech screen. Loop was a bit of a mess. Coding portions required AI which was not mentioned ahead of time. One of the interviewers told me to find bugs in some code using AI, but accidentally pasted the solution instead of the buggy code which led to issues.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Oracle (Nashville, TN)

      Interview

      Standard coding screen followed by loop rounds. Loop rounds - 1. System design - focused on the infra aspect more 2. Behavioral - turned into technical quickly and did some white boarding to explain how I cracked a problem. 3. Bartender - as they are all from platform team, most of their questions were targeted for infra position and that confused me. Bias for action seemed very important for them than any other principle. Coding - another leetcode medium and was easy to solve.

      Interview

      The interviews were mostly medium level leetcode questions. Takes a lot longer than you would expect. About 3 months from beginning to end. The offer stage and background stage take the longest
