I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Rackspace Technology
Interview
Prelim Phone talk with recruiter, two phone interviews, one technical, one with manager.
Flown out for in person interview in San Antonio for four panel style interviews.
-One with two support engineers for infrastructure,
-One more practical technical interview (troubleshooting, etc).
-One with two sales managers talking about how I deal with people, customers, etc
-One with HR and two other Sales Managers
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Rackspace Technology (San Antonio, TX) in Oct 2015
Interview
The process involves the following steps:
1. Technical screen -phone
2. Recruiter conversation -phone
3. Technical interview -video conference
4. Hiring manager interview -video conference
5. On site interview with four separate groups broken into one hour intervals -in person
The initial interviews were pretty standard, but towards the end it became very apparent that there were some organizational issues: people not showing up for interviews, interviews getting rescheduled at the last minute, etc. The entire interview process ended up taking multiple months as a result of this.
Also it is important to note that during the on-site interview trip they will reimburse you for expenses related to the trip, but that process takes six to eight weeks.
Questions were asked about NFS, SAN, OpenStack, generic system security, RAID, CIDR, HTTP status codes, TCP handshake, system boot process, LVM, IPMI(Dell DRAC), and HA terminology.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Rackspace Technology (San Antonio, TX) in Apr 2014
Interview
After applying online and meeting with a recruiter and other Rackers at an Open Source conference I was invited to an on-site interview. There I was interviewed for about 3-4 hours by Rackers with different job roles. I really loved the technical part of the interview because there were no puzzles, trick questions or other things that I already had forgotten 10 years ago and can be looked up real quick ;) The questions were well fit to the job role and current standards in the industry, IMHO.
