Current comp: ~34LPA
Application : Recruited reached out to me.

Team: oracle health

**Round 1 Screening ( Strong Hire ) **

He touched on multiple points :
DSA: asked me question on removal of node on tree, validate BST & left view of binary tree.
LLD: asked me about factory pattern and told to implement in our own IDE by taking any scenario.
HLD: few questions around data replication, sharding etc.

Once you clear the screening Oracle sets up the loop interview i.e. all 4 round will be mandatory which will consists of HLD, LLD, DSA and bar raiser round i.e mostly related to culture fit , behavioural etc.

**Round 2 ( Problem Solving + LLD - taken by senior developer ) - ( Lean Hire / Reject ) **

DSA: https://leetcode.com/problems/reverse-integer/description/ ( wasn't able to solve this as I got a bit panicked. Hence, lean hire/reject )
LLD: Factory Pattern implementation
Grilled a lot on Java features ex how garbage collection works ? what's new in java 8/11/17 ? Funtional Interface etc and gave few scenarios to which needs to be implemented via stream api etc.

**Round 3 ( System Design - taken by director) ** - ( Strong Hire)

Design a notification system and include health and monitoring platform.

**Round 4 ( LLD + Project Discussion- taken by senior developer) ** - ( Strong Hire)

LLD: Design IAM kinda permission for a system i.e. a given user can access certain things based upon permission which he/she is assigned by manager and also create db schemas for these.
Detailed Project Discussion and cross questioning of why this design is used etc etc.
Again lot of questions around java 8

**Round 5 ( Culter Fit round - taken by another team's manager ) ** - ( Hire )

Standard questions like:
What happens during a clash over design ? How would you resolve that
What is the reason for changing company ?
Any project which have completely taken care from scratch ?
Any mentoring which you did during your stint ?

PS: Never ever take these rounds lightly, if they feel something fishy no matter how well you do technically they won't hire you.

Verdict: Selected
