USCIS approved 2,690 Oracle America H-1B petitions in fiscal 2025 (October 2024 to September 2025); only 470 were for new employment. The benefits page says hybrid and remote opportunities are available, yet all 2,281 postings on October 6, 2026 were tagged On-site.

Good to know before you apply

  • Oracle's recruiting blog (September 4, 2024) says the technical interview is a coding problem in any language unless noted, and you can ask for more time before continuing.
  • Look for a "Career Level - ICn" line at the end of a posting; not every posting has one.
  • The benefits page (seen October 6, 2026) lists up to 14 weeks of paid parental leave and 40 paid volunteer hours a year; posting footers add a 401(k) match and a stock purchase plan.
  • Some postings say visa sponsorship is not available; applications are generally accepted for at least three calendar days.
