Applied online through LinkedIn, had a phone screen with a Gartner recruiter, next was a behavior-based interview with the same recruiter. The interview process was straightforward and they even sent a pre-interview email that listed the questions "they would ask", I think I overprepared.

I applied online. I interviewed at Gartner (Weatherford, TX) in Jul 2024
Interview
I only made it through 2 rounds. A quick phone interview and then a longer 1 hour phone interview. I was not asked to join a zoom, but she (the recruiter) was on zo for me to see. She was pleasant to work with and kind! Once she realized I was not interested in a sales position and how my experience was more in the Customer Success department - she didn’t waste any more time and gave me the details to reach out to the recruiter for those openings and where to apply for them and the titles of those job postings. I also did have to take a cognitive test after the first phone interview, prior to getting the green light for the next interview. I believe she told me that Gartner was voted one of the hardest places to interview at in 2023 as #13 on the list for Forbes or Fortune 500 magazine. (Fact check that because I don’t remember what publication it was).
