I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Gartner (Egham, England) in Apr 2018
Interview
A 1st stage interview with three separate managers.
Interviews were somewhat informal and on the whole, seemed to go well enough. However, something told the first manager that i wasn't a perfect fit for his team and he confirmed this in the meeting without any real insight.
I also interviewed well with the following two manager's who were both nice enough but it seems that perhaps the first manager's decision had rubbed off on the following two and the end result was that I did not receive an invitation to the next round.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Gartner in Mar 2026
Interview
1st stage is an hour long interview with the recruiter, if successful second is with 2 hiring managers - mainly competency based, rigid and very clear they’re following a step by step processes, followed by a 3rd round including presentation and task. Recruiter explained process clearly but never came back with feedback post stage. Disappointing especially that preparation was required for both one hour long conversations and candidate experience was discussed during the process.

Question 1
Why Gartner?
Very in depth career overview including higher education.
Discovery call with a sourcer, phone screen with a recruiter, video interview with hiring manager. Process moves quickly which is nice and they are transparent about feedback which I appreciate
Hiring sequence where I met with the recruiter, HM, VP. Then was flown to Stamford to present and meet more members of the team. Very welcoming, straightforward, and knew what to expect.
