I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Gartner (New York, NY) in Nov 2017
Interview
I interviewed with Gartner as part of their MBA recruiting process. The first round of interviews was with some more junior Gartner consultants. Next I had a brief phone call with a VP. The final round was onsite with multiple one-on-ones with senior staff and a case presentation.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
In the one-on-ones it was mostly standard interview questions, but there were also a couple, on the spot, case questions. Each candidate was also asked to give an hour long case presentation with a week of prep.
The process involved 4 rounds: 1. HR basic detail clarification round, 2. Technical round if interview with hiring manager, 3. Case study, 4. Interview with a panel of 2-3 Senior Directors to check your fit with the firm.

Question 1
My research and analytical capabilities across multiple sources to create a triangulated solution to a given problem.
Interview experience was terrible. Interviewer arrived two hours late, wasted my time, and only revealed at the end that the role didn’t even exist. Completely unprofessional and frustrating for candidates.
Lengthy multiple phase interview which included a typical job interview followed by a business case.
The questions were mostly personal with a strong focus on fit and feeling out how much of a grinder you are.
The business case was quite hard (it was on the education sector, weird) and I had to develop a single slide solution a very short space of time on a very rubbish laptop.
All in all - the whole process seemed design to fail people not pass them.
