The Red Hat interview I attended had started with a phone interview 
with the Asia Pacific Manager in India, then a phone interview with 
someone in the Brisbane office and then an in person interview. The in 
person interview consisted of six people who would be ones future 
colleagues asking ten predefined questions with each person having 30 
minutes to ask and write down the replies. Each interview was 
seperate.  

It got a bit repetitious when the same question was asked time and 
time again. 

I have noticed that one of my problems is that I think interviewing 
should follow a certain logical order (working for the same company 
for 18 years does brainwash one on how certain things are performed, 
or me anyhow), so when, as in the Red Hat interview a SW engineer came 
in  looking like a modern reject of Glastonbury Rock Festival from the 
70's (or Woodstock if you prefer), sits, stares at you in a 
disconcerting way and then says ' What questions do you have for me ', 
when he hasn't said anything to my mind, that would make me formulate 
a question. Mind you the lady who said, " Can we finish this quickly 
because it's the weekend  and I want to go shopping" , really made me 
feel quite put out, and bristle at what I thought was sheer rudeness 
and incompetence.
