I was referred to TripActions through a friend already working at the company....pre-pandemic. They submitted my resume and I received the initial Recruiter screen. The recruiter was polite, professional and to the point. No issues or anything that stood out as out of the norm. The recruiter noted I was a great fit for the role and wanted me to talk directly with the hiring manager. Great! The hiring manager didn't get back to me or the recruiter for a few days, but I understand how busy the day can get. We set up a time for a zoom interview and I did all of the expected prep work. I knew the company already, but I prepped to make sure I was the most knowledgeable person in the 'room'. I logged into the zoom meeting a couple of minutes early and waited for the hiring manager. After 5 minutes my phone rang. It was the hiring manager calling me and asked if we could scrap the video chat and just talk on the phone. Ok. I can do that. The phone interview turned into him walking around Chicago during commute traffic. He missed most of what I said and I could hear him say, "whoa" a few times....referring to the crosswalks he was trekking through. I asked professional questions at the end, but didn't get much of a response, and one question I asked him to clarify what he meant. He asked me to repeat the original question again.....meaning....he spoke without listening. The recruiter emailed me later to say it wasn't a fit, which I completely agreed with. I give the recruiter 5-stars and the SDR/ADR/BDR manager 1-star. They reached out 6 months later and I politely spoke with another SDR/ADR/BDR manager and they were great. An offer was extended but I did not accept.
