Red Hat Associate Software Engineer interview questions

The interview process had three rounds spread over a few weeks. The first round started with a quick introduction, then moved into an easy-to-medium DSA coding question. The interviewer was genuinely supportive — he gave me a couple of nudges when I got stuck, which made it feel more like a conversation than an interrogation. After the coding part, we went through several technical deep-dives. The whole round ran about an hour and fifteen minutes. I felt good about it overall, though I'll admit I blanked on a couple of basics that I really should have nailed — a reminder to not skip fundamentals during prep. Heard back after about three weeks that I'd moved forward. The second technical round was more focused on the actual role and day-to-day work, which I found pretty straightforward. The final round was with the hiring manager — it was less of a grilling and more of a genuine conversation about team culture, how they work, and my background.

Great interview experience. First round is with HR just to ask about your experience and to see if you have the technical background for the role. Second interview is with the Hiring Manager to learn more about the role, projects, etc. Final interview is technical with three software engineers from across the organisation. I received no live coding questions but was asked technical questions.
