I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Red Hat
Interview
First recruiter interview lasting around 30 minutes, a very pleasent experience as the person was very nice.
I was contacted after some days with a take-home assessment to be completed within one week.
I completed it in 5 days and sent it back to the recruiter who told me the position was already filled out. Basically all the time I spent in doing the assignment was completely wasted as the company never even bothered reading the code I wrote.
Overall an awful experience from such company.

Interview
Applied on LinkedIn. Contacted by tech lead a few weeks later for an interview. Video call interview (with someone other than the tech lead who contacted me) scheduled to last 30 minutes, ended up lasting about 45 minutes because I was having a good conversation with the interviewer.
