I liked the people. I must have met 7 or 8 gartner employees and they were all nice, engaging people. The Egham office vibe wasn't great though. Maybe that's just me. In terms of the interview - my experience matches the other reviews here. First a screen call (45 mins), then one call with HR (1 hour) , then a first live interview (1 hour 20), then a panel presentation (1hr 30) I also got to meet a team member one to one before the panel. That was helpful. At no stage was I challenged and the process was laid out clearly from start to finish on glassdoor and through clear ish instructions. Overall I thought the process was drawn out for no reason. I kept on getting congratulated for making it 'this far'. They use an American style outdated STAR interview technique which is also used by the civil service (take from that what you will). I can't tell if they are just desperate for people or just so keen on processus that there are 'right' answers to their interview questions. Either way, I kept on having to force myself to not just feed them the answers they clearly wanted. If you want a job here - I think it's quite easy. Just follow the advice on glassdoor and the email instructions. You'll need to invest some time as the interview process is insanely drawn out and you'll need to have some prepared answers. The offer was OK but not great. No counter offer when I declined. I'm surprised at how easily they let someone walk away after so many hours. I imagine they have lost a lot of good people over the years for the sake of 4-5k. Then again, an extra £20k wouldn't have got me to accept the offer, so who knows

4 interviews -- 1 informal, informative overview of the position with generic questions to evaluate whether or not your skillset aligns with the position; 2 case studies that were fairly straightforward and simple; 1 panel interview with a presentation on "why Gartner." My advice is to show up with a few answers in your back pocket for any potential behavioral questions. The panel interview is a "why Gartner" but it is also a "why YOU," so don't be afraid to show off a little bit, this is your time to shine in front of potential coworkers. They make this interview process so that by the end of the 4th interview, it is apparent if there is a mutual fit for the position. Everyone I spoke to throughout was very insightful about their experience and got me excited about the role. Reading other Glassdoor reviews was really off-putting for the company and almost deterred me away entirely, but I see a promising opportunity.
