The interview process was fair. It involved 3 rounds in total, starting with a recruiter screening. After the screening, there were two more rounds, both of which were panel interviews. The first panel was with the hiring manager and a peer at the same level, and the final panel included multiple directors.

You could apply for 3 internships at once since they had numerous internship positions open. First, you got a call from an HR employee. Then you were invited to a real interview that was conducted online with 2 employees, one of them being the manager of the team. After that you waited 2 weeks for the results. If you weren't selected, you could apply for other internships that remained free or just ask for the reason why they chose another candidate.

I've interviewed a few times with RedHat. The recruiter was unresponsive to my calls and emails for over a month and a half. After 3 months of ghosting, I got an email saying the position was put on hold. This year, I was recommended for and applied for another PM job and was contacted by the same recruiter. Received a form letter asking for my availability the week before the 4th of July holiday. Interview was scheduled and manager passed me to the final round over a month later. After the final round, the recruiter ghosted again. My internal contact gave me the info to send thank yous and I've tried reaching out. I was never able to pin down a salary range or a timeframe for response. Ghosting candidates like this is unprofessional. I've spoken with others who have had this same experience.
