I applied online. I interviewed at Gartner (Fort Myers, FL)
Interview
5 different interviews… yes, 5. Recruiter screen, sr recruiter interview, panel interview with hiring managers. Not selected for that role but referred to another. Was supposed to have an informal call with that recruiter to touch base and turned into an interview. 1 more interview after that which I was told would be with 1 person and it ended up being 3 (with no warning). To ultimately not be offered. This whole process took 2+ months. Recruiters and hiring manager rescheduled multiple times throughout the process, which is difficult to accommodate as a recruiter with your own requisitions. Took them a week to provide feedback after the first round because they want to call you and tell you they’re not offering you the position. Definitely not a candidate first experience. Perfect example of corporate inefficiency.

Question 1
Why do you want to work at Gartner - they asked this at ALL five interviews
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Gartner in Mar 2026
Interview
1st stage is an hour long interview with the recruiter, if successful second is with 2 hiring managers - mainly competency based, rigid and very clear they’re following a step by step processes, followed by a 3rd round including presentation and task. Recruiter explained process clearly but never came back with feedback post stage. Disappointing especially that preparation was required for both one hour long conversations and candidate experience was discussed during the process.

Question 1
Why Gartner?
Very in depth career overview including higher education.
Discovery call with a sourcer, phone screen with a recruiter, video interview with hiring manager. Process moves quickly which is nice and they are transparent about feedback which I appreciate
Hiring sequence where I met with the recruiter, HM, VP. Then was flown to Stamford to present and meet more members of the team. Very welcoming, straightforward, and knew what to expect.
