I was contacted by a recruiter shortly after applying, after this the recruiter was very hard to reach. After the recruiter, I had a total of 4 interviews (1 HM, 2 Technical Discussions, 1 coding round). The recruiter did a horrible job in scheduling these interviews. I had given him my availabilities for a week out and got them scheduled. The recruiter then moved my already scheduled final round to 1 week earlier, with only 1 day notice, meaning I received the notification that my final round was moved to the following day of receiving that notification. This is absolutely unprofessional and got in the way of my preparation time.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Red Hat (Boston, MA) in Jun 2026
Interview
There were 4 rounds - screening, Hiring Manager Round, Technical round with Senior Engineer and Panel Discussions. I was able to get into 3rd round and got rejected but the experience was great.

The role was for Ansible Automation and the questions were around the same area.
I applied online. I interviewed at Red Hat in Jun 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.
