I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Gartner in Feb 2017
Interview
A friend who works at Gartner helped get my resume to the hiring manager. Once I was engaged with HR I had a phone interview with the hiring manager, than phone interviews the the managers peer, and a customer I would be supporting. After that, I was asked to come into the office for a group video conference with the team. Finally a phone conversation with the hiring manager again.

Question 1
Nothing difficult or unexpected. Being prepared by researching the company and knowing my background was the biggest help
The interview involved a super day round which included 4 different interview rounds with various levels of employees over the span of 5 hours. It wasn't too difficult but it was a bit repetitive and took a long time.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Gartner (New York, NY) in Jun 2024
Interview
Had a phone screen with the recruiter and was invited to a first round, which the recruiter told me would be a behavioral interview with one manager. When I joined the interview, there were 2 managers on the call and the interview was not all behavioral, which I only found out during the interview. There is miscommunication between the recruiter and interviewers, or they intentionally misinform candidates. When the recruiter reached out to let me know I would not be moving forward, he said he would send my specific feedback to me. He never did and didn't respond to my follow-up. It's fine if he doesn't want to offer feedback but why bring it up and lie about providing it? Overall, a very frustrating process with unprofessional participants
I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Gartner
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter to discuss potential opportunities based on my background. The conversation went really well and the recruiter told me that there was an open role and team I would be a great fit for. The recruiter mentioned twice on the call they would circle back with me the following week and that if I didn't hear anything to be sure to follow up with them directly. After not hearing anything by Wednesday of the following week, I reached out to recruiter. Never received a response, so I reached out again the week after and one final time the week after that. Never heard back from the recruiter on any of those emails. Please do not waste candidates time with false promises and then completely ghost them.
