I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Red Hat (Bengaluru) in Apr 2019
Interview
The interview process consists of a series of interviews by managers, a technical panel and HRs.
They are very very negligent about the rounds, HRs kept moving the profile from one job requisition to another, without any concrete information, 1 round every month without any information what so ever but "we will let you know" . One of the HRs resigned while handling the profile, said that there are budgetary issues and that this won't be taken further. Another 2 weeks later another HR calls up to move for round 3. Managers do not receive writing tests and have no clue whatsoever about what is going on. It is an absolute nightmare to go through such an experience. Request the team to start looking at candidates in a humane way. No clue why no offer was extended, no feedback shared either, had great rounds of interview.

Question 1
What are you passionate about? Tell us about a time when you had issues to find SMEs for a key content to be released
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Red Hat
Interview
The interviews were very short. 30 min with the hiring manager, sent writing samples, and then 1 hour total with 4 team members. The disappointing part was never receiving a rejection email from a real person. If a candidate makes it through to the team interview, it seems like they should get a recruiter email for rejection, not find out through a status change on the job portal.
