Red Hat Solutions Architect interview questions

First step was a group activity. Initially each person introduced themselves (education, experience, goals, etc). Next we were given out a short story full of ambiguities to answers questions about, individually, in groups of three, then form a single consensus to compare to an official set of responses. Afterwards, individually, we were asked to write essays about the open-source software market. Second interview was individual, with a senior solutions architect, the team manager and an HR rep. We had to prepare a presentation about a business case and answer varied questions.

I had 4 interviews with RH. The first one was with the recruiting agent (RH), meeting went well and he scheduled another meeting face-to-face with who might become my manager. This meeting also went well with both side asking good questions to evaluate the candidate/opportunity. The recruiting agent contacted me again few days later asking to return for a 3rd interview with the sales manager and the account executive that I would be working with. This interview also went well, even though I felt they were looking for a slightly different profile. At this point, I thought I wouldn't be called back, but the recruiting agent called me back few days later asking me to come to what would be the last interview. This interview was supposed to test my presentation skills. They gave me a scenario 2 days before the interview to prepare and present in front of a panel that would "act" as the customer in the scenario. The scenario was a 1 pager with some notes that I would have supposedly taken during a previous meeting and I had 30min to present the result of my finding to them. The beginning went well, but quickly, the members were after some very specific information that I didn't have in my slides and I didn't know. While I understand the "grilling" part to show how I would handle presser with real customer's, I found that the insistence on the same topic was pointless since it was clear I did not have the answer they were after. At the end I was told that I needed to wait 1 week to get the result since they still had 2-3 more candidates to interview.
