I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Gartner (Tampa, FL) in Jun 2014
Interview
Fairly lengthy. 6-weeks in my case due to scheduling conflicts. Multiple interviews. Recruiter (phone), Recruiter again (phone), Hiring Manager (in person), Hiring Manager's Manager (phone), Hiring Manager again (in person), Hiring Manager and team (in person). Very thorough. Final panel interview consisted of a role play of a sales call with multiple people in the room acting as clients. Pretty tough process, but after accepting and then meeting my fellow new hires in our 5-week training marathon (even more brutal) it was mutually understood that Gartner's process yields results.

I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Gartner (Los Angeles, CA) in Mar 2014
Interview
The interview process was efficient. I participated in 2 phone interviews, 2 in person interviews and 1 role play scenario interview. Interview focused on my background, my sales approach and what motivates me.

Question 1
There were no totally unexpected questions, however, the role play was probably the most difficult because it required the most preparation with a relatively short deadline and I believe was probably the most critical phase of the interview process.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 10+ months. I interviewed at Gartner (Portland, OR)
Interview
Recruiter screens applicants; sets up call with the hiring manager; required to interview with three people and all must approve. Company looks for well rounded individuals who can communicate the value of Gartner. Will need a good, overall understanding of technology, governance, role of CIO and direct reports. Helps to understand the function of governance, cloud computing, SaaS, why projects succeed and fail.
