I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Rackspace Technology
Interview
Was contacted by phone and asked a series of technical questions ranging from basic DOS commands to general questions about server hardware and network equipment. After the phone interview I was contacted and an online test was scheduled; the test was a series of problems to resolve or settings to change in a Windows Server RDP session. After the online test, I was invited to an in-person interview that lasted all day as I met with the department manager and various team members.

1) Technical
2) Team fit and workability/ work ethic
3) Personal philosophy (believe it or not!) :)
