Question 1
Asked for specifics about my sales figures in previous jobs
Unstrukturiert. Der Hiring Manager war unmotiviert und desinteressiert. Die Hauptarbeit erfolgt durch die Sourcer. Alles wirkt mechanisch und pseudo-durchorganisiert. Für mich war es ein enttäuschendes Erlebnis. Mantra-artig wird wiederholt dass sich Kunden ja nicht in die Analysen und Rankings einkaufen können. Alles sehr suspekt!
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Gartner (New York, NY) in Jun 2024
Interview
Recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn. We had an initial video call that he changed to phone call at the last minute.
He let me know I'd be progressing in the process and that he'd follow up with next steps.
I checked in after a week and never heard back from him. This was in June, 2024.
