The Red Hat interview process is slow at first, as they take their time to process the resume and shortlist. But once the resume is shortlisted, activity is quite swift, with 1-2 updates each week. I had to go through 6-7 rounds of interview (they were more like discussions), and in the process, I talked to 6 people from different work groups that my role would need interaction with. All these people gave their inputs to HR, who consolidated the data and created a well-rounded profile. It was a mix of telephonic and in-person meetings, not necessarily in Red Hat office premises, and the company was helpful in accommodating my prior commitments.

They asked about ideas for my new job profile and my approach towards this role.
