Question 1
What do you do when you are having difficulty connecting with a content SME?
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Red Hat
Interview
The interviews were very short. 30 min with the hiring manager, sent writing samples, and then 1 hour total with 4 team members. The disappointing part was never receiving a rejection email from a real person. If a candidate makes it through to the team interview, it seems like they should get a recruiter email for rejection, not find out through a status change on the job portal.
