I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Gartner (Dallas, TX)
Interview
The interview process was incredibly drawn out and lasted in total 6 weeks. I went through with the process due to the positive reviews I've read on Gartner but be prepared to spend some time with this company. Interview included four steps, one with HR, a phone interview, an in person interview and then a panel interview. All of the interview steps were straightforward aside for the panel interview which is basically a crapshoot and can be taken in any direction. If you are interviewing with this company I would ask a lot of questions and be very clear about what the hiring managers are looking for in the final step.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can you tell me about your sales process and philosophy?
They have reached out to me for a job every year and I have interviewed with them 2 times and have never made it past the 1st interview. Confused why a recruiter reaches out to me anymore?
It was long and rigorous, often feeling extremely high pressure, with not a lot of constructive criticism. There are 5 rounds and each with a role-play. It's safe to say this is not an easy interview process. I'm not sure how they do their prospecting, but I was apparently a 'great fit' for the role - didn't show that enthusiasm during our calls.
Intensive - multiple rounds led by a recruiter. Expect 2 rounds of role play, around 4 rounds total. 2 with a recruiter, one with a lead skills expert and another panel with VPs and hiring managers.
