I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Gartner (London, England) in Nov 2025
Interview
After 1h discussing experience with recruiter, they asked for another 1h to keep discussing with the same person. Dropped out as hiring process seemed too lengthy + condescending behaviour when they were the ones reaching out for an interview...

They have reached out to me for a job every year and I have interviewed with them 2 times and have never made it past the 1st interview. Confused why a recruiter reaches out to me anymore?
It was long and rigorous, often feeling extremely high pressure, with not a lot of constructive criticism. There are 5 rounds and each with a role-play. It's safe to say this is not an easy interview process. I'm not sure how they do their prospecting, but I was apparently a 'great fit' for the role - didn't show that enthusiasm during our calls.
Intensive - multiple rounds led by a recruiter. Expect 2 rounds of role play, around 4 rounds total. 2 with a recruiter, one with a lead skills expert and another panel with VPs and hiring managers.
