I applied through university. I interviewed at Red Hat (Brno) in Jun 2014
Interview
The interview takes a form of a panel discussion, 3-5 team leaders first introduce themselves and then present the project/team they're working on/with, day-to-day tasks, project goals, what problems is the project trying so address and why, and if the project is just a stepping stone/base/building block (typically a library), then which products from the portfolio use it and how these interact with it (only briefly though).
The interviewers then approach the candidate with questions targeting the candidate's technical skills (this follows the technical skill and knowledge base on-site test, the results of which of course had served the decision process of further interviewing a candidate).
Lastly, the interviewers ask the candidate whether there's any intersection between the candidate's interests and any of the presented projects, thus indirectly asking them about any preferences.

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

followed by a phone call by the recurting team (more background]
on site interview - technical plus HR (more if you fit in the team and what are you looking for etc]
My Red Hat interview was an enriching experience, combining technical discussions, problem-solving scenarios, and collaborative conversations. The team was welcoming, and the process strengthened my confidence in open-source development and enterprise-grade engineering practices.
Very friendly & straight forward interview. Would recommend highly. Very respectful . Non technical interview & was very encouraging. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for an interview in their third year in college
