Received message from Rackspace on LinkedIn in regards to an open position, exchanged e-mails with Rackspace. Sent my contact information to Rackspace as per their request. The interview was extremely technical, they throw the kitchen sink at you (metaphorically) to gauge your level of networking knowledge and how you react under pressure.

Very streamlined. I had three interviews total. Two phone interviews, one with someone in HR asking me basic networking questions. Second interview was with someone asking more technical questions. Some of the questions were pretty difficult if you hadn't studied before your interview. Third interview was another technical interview and another interview where you're questioned to see how well you fit in the company, however this one was in person.

Two initial phone technical screenings - each increasingly technical, followed by a an onsite interview that was extraordinarily difficult. There were many people who vetted me technically, and ensure I'd be a good culture fit.
