      Research Director Interview

      30 May 2013
      Anonymous employee
      Stamford, CT
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Gartner (Stamford, CT) in Apr 2013

      Interview

      Started with a screening interview over the phone with a recruiter followed by a phone interview with the hiring VP who explained the job and probed subject matter expertise. Additional phone interviews with other VPs covering related areas. Final gate to the group interview involved conversations with senior level VPs. The final on-site group interview (where most candidates fail, apparently) involved original research as a writing sample, a presentation of the research, and answering questions from a panel.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Asked to provide a writing sample during the group interview on a topic selected by the hiring VP. Allowed to write on the topic for 90 minutes in a manner that follows the typical structure of a piece of analysis. Once the writing was submitted and reviewed, the topic is presented and the panel asks questions about the content of the writing sample and the topic.
