      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Gartner (Irving, TX) in Jun 2026

      Interview

      The interview process was ridiculous. They knew I was in final stages with another company, so they compressed my process with them. The final stage included an in-person, timed writing assignment and then a 90-minute panel review/debate. I have been writing content for my entire career, so that's never been a problem for me. However, I'm a Mac user and was forced to use a completely unfamiliar PC. I haven't touched a PC in more than a decade, so fighting with their machine wasted 1/2-1/3 of my 90-minute writing time. As a result, I caught an error in my final product with only two minutes remaining and didn't have the time to correct it. Had a I been able to use a familiar device, I know I would have had the time to apply the corrections. I then told each/every one of the three facilitators that were helping me and they said not to worry about it. However, I should have been allowed additional time to address it given what a time suck that Thinkpad was. I even told the one Gartner executive that was on-site and he told me to just admit the mistake at the start of the panel discussion, which I did. I thought the panel debate went well. I answered all questions, even those beyond the scope of the writing assignment, and thought the day went well. However, I learned the next day that the team had chosen to pass on offering me the position. So, now I'm sharing all of this to prevent future candidates from the pitfalls I had to face. This process, which they used in prior decades, seems stuck in the past despite the distinct differences of today's job market.

      Interview process includes multiple steps that mimics exactly the work you will be doing. Best interview process I have ever had, enjoyable too. It was very friendly albeit quite structured.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Gartner

      Interview

      Steps in process 1. Recruiter 2. SME / Peer 3. Hiring Manager 4. Other peers/SMEs 5. Take home assessment 6. Final presentation Process is long, drawn out, and a bit outdated by today's standards... far too many steps. The take home exercise feels like you are offering free consulting or giving them more data to add to their knowledgebase. All this or a low paying job with a capped annual bonus. You could make quite a bit more joining a company in your field in Strategy, Competitive Intelligence, Sales, or Product Management. Win or lose, do not expect any feedback at the end of the process. It is against their policy. This says a lot about the culture.
