      Software Engineer Interview

      24 June 2026
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Red Hat in June 2026

      Interview

      Applied to multiple positions, got an instant response, and scheduled an initial call with the recruiter a day after. Scheduled another 2 interviews with hiring managers from two different teams, the talks were semi-technical, also focused on my ability to work in a team. Last of all, I had two proper technical interviews, one per team I applied to. They focused on my experience and technical knowledge, while also sharing more info about the work I would be potentially dealing with. Thankfully tere was no live coding. I've talked to 7 different personas during my interview process, and they were all really pleasant and nice to talk to. Overall I had a great time, and it truly felt like they wanted to get the best out of me, which I believe they did. Also it was a very very quick process.

      Software Engineer Interview

      16 June 2026
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Red Hat in June 2026

      Interview

      I cleared the interview rounds for a Software Engineering role and was explicitly told by the recruiter that I was selected. We discussed compensation, agreed on a tentative start date, and when a system rejection email randomly triggered, HR told me in writing to ignore it as a system error. Relying on these confirmations, I turned down other active job opportunities. After 10days, my portal status was changed to "Declined." When I escalated this, management completely shifted the narrative, claiming the previous conversations were just "exploratory" and that the role was now closed. Red Hat’s internal team completely failed to align, and their recruiter directly misled me into destroying other career opportunities. To lead an engineer on to the point of discussing exact start dates and dismissing rejection notices, only to pull the rug out and deny it later, is a severe breach of professional ethics.

      Processo lineare, uno screening al telefono, un colloquio con un HR, un colloquio con il CTO o un altro senior, colloquio con il product owner, ma poi mi hanno fermato lì
