First round with a recruiter who clearly hadn’t read my CV prior to the interview, was reading questions off a checklist and didn’t appear to even listen to my answers. Awful experience and left an incredibly bad impression of what is supposedly a reputable company.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Gartner (London, England) in Apr 2026
Interview
Contacted via LinkedIn by a recruiter and was asked if I would be interested in a role, based on my prior experience. Accepted a video call which was cancelled last minute due to illness, I was then asked if I would like another in two weeks time. This seemed a little odd however I agreed, the next interview was set up the day before. This was a screening so relatively standard questions, agreed to feedback by the Friday/Monday. I reminded the interviewer that it was a public holiday on the Monday, we laughed and I figured it was an easy thing to miss. Didn’t hold my breath as it all seemed to straight forward and especially for a company like Gartner which has a good reputation at least in the market. Automated rejection email arrived on Saturday morning. Apologies but no way was this person sending out emails on Sat AM. I get it this is automated to send a certain time after you reject the candidate in the system. Gartner do better many other companies set their systems up to not send out any correspondence outside of working hours. For a company that is so systematic and has a good reputation, they should do better. Pleased that this did not proceed further.
Recruiter reached out to schedule via linked in. Provided resume and had a 30 minute phone call. Very fast paced interview about my background and experience plus a bit about the what Gartner offers. They apparently have salary bands based on geography.
