Brief intro about you (mirror the interviewers introduction)
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Gartner (London, England) in Apr 2020
Interview
Firstly, a phone screening by the recruiter followed by a sales pitch interview with someone from HR.
Worst application process I ever went through. Very arrogant interviewer. I had the feeling they treat their employees as numbers. They promote a culture of hard sales and commissions (American style), so not sure if it was the right fit for me.
Left me hanging by not sending me a status update. Followed-up myself and got a reply that I was not selected for the next round. When I asking for feedback, I got ignored.
The first interview started with a 30min phone call about myself and the recruiter talking about the role.
Second interview was a role play and what I knew about Gartner.
Third interview was a more formal role play and why I was interested in Gartner.
Fourth interview they flew me to fort Myers and it was a half day event where we started with 3 elevator pitches. I read research in a certain amount of time and had to explain it back after time was up. As well, we did an open Q&A.
