An Interview with Oracle

I had this wonderful oppurtunity to appear for an interview with Oracle. The first 2 rounds went smooth and I was also satisfied. Then came the 3rd round with the Director, unheard of. The so called nincompoop Director started of with questions on PS Integration Broker of which he knew nothing. To my amazement he did not know what a Transaction/Routing mean in PS. After trying to make use of his little Bird Brain to understand Integration Broker, he then moved on to other functional aspects of FSCM. That's when, as per him he struck gold by asking "Is FMS and SCM on the same DB". Only a fool of his (Director) calibre will have a myopic thought process to ask such a question. No joy, I gave the answer,he felt frustrated. Now comes the best part of the entire conversation, not to mention his unworthy and unprofessional SLANG language being used during a Telephonic interview with the Company name at stake. The golden question put across was "Why has PeopleSoft desinged ePro". After giving him all possible reasons/explanations which i thought were relevant in the context, he decides to break the silence by giving the answer of the millenium - "To reduce Cost...". Well if that is the thought process of such a person, then i feel more than sorry for the plight of the people either working or reporting to him. Well in the end, i did put across a Stinker to the recruitment head right after the call, and since I haven't received any sort of response, I'm sure he did get it in the neck, and this goes on to show the unprofessionalism displayed by the recruitment head for PeopleSoft at Oracle.
