I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Gartner in Mar 2011
Interview
I first submitted my resume to the recruiter. I then proceeded to be scheduled for a phone screening. After that I was scheduled for a group interview with a few of the sales managers. On that date I also met with the team sales manager for an individual interview. I received an offer letter a few days later.
I applied online. I interviewed at Gartner (Austin, TX) in Dec 2014
Interview
Interview process was a joke! The guy that interviewed me said he'd been with the company for quite a while, kept asking the same exact questions for each of my previous jobs. What did you like? What didn't you like? Why did you leave? How did you like your manager? And to top things off, to show how professional this guy really was, he kept checking his phone every 2-3 mins! I've taken and given interviews in the past, but not once have I ever decided to check my phone in the middle of the interview. The guy just seemed to think he was top dawg, but I'm guessing he was just entry level management. Oh yea, and they expected me to give a blind 2-yr commitment to stay with the company.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Nothing really difficult, just repetitive questions about each of my previous jobs.

The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Gartner (Fort Myers, FL) in Jun 2011
Interview
I interviewed for the inside sales rep position in FL even though I was living in the northeast. I had 5 phone interviews with company employees ranging from HR to account managers. Everyone I talked to was pleasant and the interviews were always challenging. However, Gartner was very bad about getting back to me and cancelling interviews on me. I had over 4 rescheduled, ranging from them forgetting to call me to cancelling at the last second. They then would not get back to me on time and would have me do the same interview over again. It was a very tedious process. Finally after my 5th interview (before what would have been the last round), they let me know with a token HR email that they weren't moving forward with me anymore. Two days after they had said they would, and after I hadn't had emails and voicemails returned.
So...great company, great sales program, but poor treatment.
