A Recruiter reached out since they found my background and profile interesting on LinkedIn. Interesting that a contract recruiter outside of Teradata also reached out and was competing to push my resume through their channel. 1. Recruiter screening to ensure there is alignment and expectations of pay etc. I did all this over email since they wanted to move fast. 2. Phone Interview with Hiring Director. This went well and he wanted me onsite immediately. 3. Onsite Interview with Hiring Director and 4 other product managers (all individual). Overall was fairly easy with focus on behavioral questions and agile experience. I thought I did extremely well in the interview but I heard back after about 4 weeks that they chose someone else with more domain experience. I personally feel they were concerned I will leave soon after starting, since my career history has been 3-4 years max in a company.

Oh, where do i begin? Had a phone screen with a recruiter who had to fill out a long form with questions that she was not qualified to ask or assess answers for (questions on Agile, SCRUM etc.) So basically, I spent 1 hour having to state and repeat my answers as the recruiter's job was to blindly type this into their system when I could have completed this in 15 mins if this was an online form. Why such as inefficient method, you ask? Well, as it turns out this only indicated the nature of things to come.... The recruiter set up a Skype interview with a ThinkBig Senior Manager who mixed up the interview timings (ET versus PT), called me at an incorrect time (I wasn't available) and then sounded irritated when I called him back after a few minutes later to ask what was going on. He wanted to do the interview immediately (this is still all at a different time than was planned) , started shooting questions on my background (because hey, why would the candidate want to know more about the job requirements first?) . When we got through his questions and I started asking mine, he indicated that he had another call that he had to jump on (And here I was, mistakenly thinking an interview needs to work both ways :-() The recruiter indicated that I wasn't selected (maybe it was because I tried to ask questions about the job position??) and refused to provide any reason for this.
