I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Gartner (Singapore) in Oct 2023
Interview
1.5 hours- first round with HR , 1hour 15mins- second round with LSA(Lead Sales Assessor whom is a HR) Gartner have been very detailed in their interview process, so much so that I feel they are overdoing it and spending so much time with them only for them to call me to reject me. And the reason was because I didn’t ask 2nd and 3rd layer questions during the role play. I really question the capability of the LSA running the role play. She does not do sales and neither have she closed a deal herself so what gives her the right to define and assessing the sales role play? Overall, this is a total waste of time. I also don’t understand why would they call to reject. Are they trying to hear our disappointment? Scheduling a call to reject is putting the candidates on an emotional rollercoaster ride. Despite I believe they are trying to show that they respect their candidates, it’s good thought put into bad use.

Other Account Executive Interview Reviews for Gartner
Avoid this interview process at all costs. It felt like nothing more than a data gathering exercise rather than a genuine hiring effort. Every single round was conducted by a recruiter — I never spoke with an actual hiring manager or team member. A complete waste of time and effort. I would not recommend applying.
Interview Process is your usual 4 step interview process : with HR / Hiring Manager / Discovery call / VP call.
You want to ask for feedback at the end of all interview and apply them.
