I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Gartner (Dublin, Dublin) in Sep 2022
Interview
Recruiter reached out so I accepted an initial call to discuss the opportunity etc. she loved my history and wanted me to meet the hiring manager. Got on a call and all was going well until they told me the hiring process. I had already had 2 calls and they wanted me to do another 3 and do an assignment for them on a RFP proposal. Absolutely no chance will most people do work on their own time for a job on top of taking valuable time off for 5 calls. Ridiculous. I said this and got no response from either the hiring manager or recruiter since.
