I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Gartner (Egham, England)
Interview
Initial call with recruiter, 90m webex with head of recruitment followed by panel interview (initial recruiter and 2 sales managers). It’s a difficult process where the recruiters have a coaching interaction being the panel interview the most intense stage of the process

Why sales; why Gartner; example led questions on the 6 traits; Gartner articulation to your mate and 92y old grandmother
They have reached out to me for a job every year and I have interviewed with them 2 times and have never made it past the 1st interview. Confused why a recruiter reaches out to me anymore?
It was long and rigorous, often feeling extremely high pressure, with not a lot of constructive criticism. There are 5 rounds and each with a role-play. It's safe to say this is not an easy interview process. I'm not sure how they do their prospecting, but I was apparently a 'great fit' for the role - didn't show that enthusiasm during our calls.
Intensive - multiple rounds led by a recruiter. Expect 2 rounds of role play, around 4 rounds total. 2 with a recruiter, one with a lead skills expert and another panel with VPs and hiring managers.
