I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Gartner in Dec 2017
Interview
After the application online, I had to pass through three stages:
- a first call of about 30 minutes with a HR recruiter;
- a traits-based interview of 1 hour through WebEx based on behavioral and motivational questions and a role play with the same recruiter;
- a final interview of 1 hour through WebEx with the same recruiter and two area managers, in which I was asked to deliver a presentation about 'Why me for Gartner, why me for sales'. After that, they asked me more behavioral questions and finally we did a role play for which the scenario was disclosed 24 hours in advance.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Gartner in Feb 2019
Interview
After I submitted by application, I received an email confirming I had passed the first stage and the next one would consist of a phone call and some questions.
Once we agreed on the day and time, the phone call only lasted about 20 minutes.
The negative side, is that I asked the interviewer "What would the perfect candidate for this role be like?" And in their answer they described me and the skills I had mentioned.
However, they did not take me and did not provide any feedback as to why, or what things should you ameliorate for the future (constructive feedback).
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Gartner in Apr 2018
Interview
3 step interview process:
1. 30 minute introduction call (with HR manager)
2. 60 minute video call (with HR manager)
3. 60 minute video call (HR + 2 area managers)
Every step was set 5/6 days after the previous one. In each step the question were similar, but every time there was a deeper request for details.
Tell me about a time.....
1. You failed
2. You achieved a great goal
3. You had to deal with someone else critic
4. You established a relation with a professor
