I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Gartner
Interview
Multiple stages (recruiter call, interview 1, interview 2 with role play, final interview) with lots of prep calls in between. I wouldn't say the process is difficult in terms of questions, its more a case of they are looking for a very specific kind of candidate and want every question answered in the STAR method
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Competency based questions, why sales, why Gartner
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.
