I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3+ months. I interviewed at Red Hat in Nov 2011
Interview
It took a while. First of all, I submited my resume using web form on redhat.com page. I had no response from HR or anything. I was waiting indefinitely. Only contract with team members I wanted to work with keept my hope.
I had few interviews with team leader and second team member. Then I've got short talk with my manager.
The most unexpected part was the contract with recruiter. I was accepted by team members and manager in November. The recruiter come back to me in February. So after more than three months HR team was able to proceed whole process.
After negotiations things went smoothly, but waiting was a nightmare.

Processo lineare, uno screening al telefono, un colloquio con un HR, un colloquio con il CTO o un altro senior, colloquio con il product owner, ma poi mi hanno fermato lì
Initially had the recruiter screening, followed by 2 rounds. One with the Principal Engineer and the other with a Senior Manager. Both went well. Unfortunately, they moved with another candidate.

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.
