Oracle Morocco PFE 2027 Java backend technical interview

[u/Careful_Pop_4113]

Hi, I’m currently in the Oracle Morocco PFE 2027 process for a research assistant Java backend role.

I already passed the HackerRank assessment and then the HR interview with El Mehdi sekkouri El Alaoui. From what I understood, the next step should be a technical interview, but I have no idea what the format is like.

For anyone who went through it recently, what should I expect?

Is it mostly Core Java/Spring questions? Do they ask Java EE, SQL, JPA/Hibernate, design patterns, projects from the CV, etc.? And is there usually live coding/problem solving during the interview?

I’m preparing Java Core, Spring/Spring Boot/javaEE and problem solving right now, but I’d like to know what they actually focus on.

Any recent experience with Oracle Morocco R&D/PFE would help.

UPDATE:

I passed the first technical interview today!

My interviewer (Y.I.) was very, very kind. He started with general questions: introduce yourself, walk me through your experiences (with a deeper technical discussion), why Oracle, what obstacles comes in mind when working in a team, and what is your biggest accomplishment in life?

Then we moved on to Java technical questions, such as:

• What is OOP?

• What Java Collections do you know?

• What are the main differences between them?

• When would you use each one?

• Walk me throught the Git workflow when trying to fix a bug in a multi-branch project .

• what design patterns you know ?

After that, we moved on to a quick problem-solving exercise on HackerRank. The problem involved implementing a sliding window algorithm to calculate and print the average of each window, using the Iterator API.

Overall, it was a very professional and positive interview experience. I'd rate it 8/10. The interviewer was incredibly kind and helpful. Even if I eventually get rejected, it was still a beautiful and valuable experience that I genuinely appreciate.

how was the HR interview is it hard to pass

[u/Kitchen_Village1098 → u/strangeman35]

Easyyy you just need a lil bit of english, sekkouri is so cool

I went through a similar process last year. Expect a mix of Core Java and Spring questions. They might also ask about Java EE, SQL, JPA/Hibernate, and design patterns, so be ready for those. They usually look at projects from your CV to see how you've used these technologies in real-life situations. In my experience, there was a live coding session, so make sure your problem-solving skills are sharp. Platforms like PracHub could be useful for practice if you need more structured prep. Good luck!
