If they're looking to hire 1000 people this year, you better hope that their HR and hiring workflows have gotten better than what they were in 2008. I sent my CV to a Sales Engineer in March. First phone screen went well, end of quarter happened, and the next thing you know it's June before my second and third round phone screens take place. They fly me to NC in August. Did more interviews, and received a verbal offer on-location, with a formal offer letter, along with stuff I needed to complete for my background check, etc, to arrive via mail. Sent my receipts in for reimbursement...and then radio silence...for two months. I received my expenses back...so I just assumed that they had found a better candidate, or, something, and that they were no longer interested in me. I did get a phone call from someone at RedHat asking if I'd be interested in a different position, but, I opted-out, having enough of the interview rodeo. Similar people that I know who have been hired directly by Red Hat have mentioned tales of similar woes with their hiring process, so, I'm somewhat confident that it's not me that's broken....
