I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Red Hat (Pune)
Interview
The recruiter from Bangalore called me for a position that was listed as a remote position, however, she said it was a mistake and it is not a remote position.
She asked about my current salary which I refused to tell and then she changed her tone. She said it is India and not the US. She asked my expected salary, when I revealed my expected salary she said we can’t give more than some very low number. She wasn’t even aware of my profile and my experience. So unprofessional, never experienced such rude and bad behaviour by any recruiter to date.
God bless RedHat.

I applied on the careers portal, and the recruiter reached out via email. Scheduled the first technical screen for a week, which lasted 15 minutes.
We started with basic introduction first and then there were 3 Java questions which the interviewer had prepared for me to go ahead with.
I answered most of them, covering the breadth and depth of the cases that were asked more in the questions section.
